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 Blackpool, 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 learn more about how I can restore your bath to its best condition.
Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. Using a unique enamel paint, it hardens and cures within 24 hours, allowing you to use your bath the next day. When I re-enamel a bath, as part of the process I will fill in any chip repairs, scratch repairs, etc., that need to be done so that when the new enamel is sprayed on, the surface will be smooth again. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.
These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Cast-iron baths weigh a ton and have to be smashed apart to be able to carry the pieces out of your house, and this obviously causes damage to the rest of your bathroom. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. 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. Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. With acrylic baths, their lifespan is not as long as traditional metal baths but they are still able to be resurfaced to a great result. With individual repairs, I match the paint to your bath’s surface, but when resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a brilliant white enamel to the whole surface.
The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.
All of my resurfacing work is done in-situ, so you will never have to remove your bath and transport it to me, then have it delivered back and installed again. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. 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.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Blackpool.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top. 5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating to your bath. 6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!
On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 5-7 hours. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.
Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look brand new again. After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. I have been using the same materials for the last 10 years, so I know that they work every time and will produce a lasting result.
