These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. While acrylic baths are much lighter and can be carried out more easily, it will still cause damage to the rest of your bathroom if you have it removed. You'll have to re-do the tiling around the bath, have the taps and waste re-fitted, and potentially get new flooring done. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. Repairing chips and scratches requires color matching, but with full bath resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a new white enamel for a flawless finish.

For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of repairs.

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. Since I work in-situ, the entire resurfacing process is completed in just one day, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day life. You may have heard of Vitreous enamel - this is a specialised procedure where the bath is coated in a powdered glass material and then this is fused onto the surface of your bath in a large kiln at very high temperatures. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.

Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Bebington.
