Bath re-enamelling, also known as bath resurfacing, is where a new surface is sprayed onto your bath so your bath looks brand new again. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very 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. 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. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
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. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. 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. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. When I repair individual chips and scratches on baths I have to colour match the repair to the surface of your bath, but with bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing as I am respraying the whole surface I just use a new brilliant white enamel paint.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.
There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. 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 specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
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 are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Cambuslang.
1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.
2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping it back to the metal. 3. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface. 4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look brand new again. Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.
