Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath 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! With Surface Doctor Blackpool, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next day! During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. I resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.
In this day and age, it is so easy to buy something new and throw away the old one rather than trying to have it repaired or restored. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. 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. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. When fixing chips and scratches, I match the color to your bath’s surface, but for re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a new white enamel finish.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.
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. 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.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out 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. Next, I will sand the bath’s surface to remove the old finish and expose the metal underneath. 3. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface. 4. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface. 5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating to your bath. 6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish. 7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use the highest quality materials available, so don't think you can get the same result as me by painting your bath yourself with something from your local DIY shop. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
