Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When the surface of your bath looks dull, is sticky, or has multiple chips on it, the best thing to do is to restore the whole surface! Here at Surface Doctor Battle, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the next day. I’ll also take care of any chip or scratch repairs as part of the process, ensuring a smooth, flawless surface before the new enamel is sprayed. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.
These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. Cast-iron baths are so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.
All resurfacing is done directly in your bathroom, so you won’t have to remove your bath and deal with the hassle of transport and reinstallation. This way there is minimal disruption to you as I will only need to be working in your bathroom for a day before I'm out of your hair again. Vitreous enamel is a unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely high temperatures in a kiln. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. There aren't many baths that I can't resurface, so give me a call today to find out if I can restore your bath for you in Battle.
1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. Next, I will apply a layer of our unique bonder and fill in any chips, holes, cracks, or other imperfections. 4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!
Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.
