Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath looks worn, sticky, or chipped, a full restoration is the best approach. Here at Surface Doctor Cheltenham, 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.
Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next day! I take care of filling in chips, scratches, and other repairs so that the final surface is smooth and flawless once the enamel is applied. 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. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes 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. 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. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. When you choose to restore your bath you are choosing the most environmentally friendly option as you won't be contributing to the vast amount of construction waste that gets produced on a daily basis. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. 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. 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.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.
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 specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
If your bath has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. 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 Cheltenham.
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. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This is a very important part of the procedure. 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.
I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.
Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.
The materials I use are of the highest quality, which you won’t find at your local DIY store for DIY bath painting. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
How long will a bath re-enamelling last?
After resurfacing, your bath will have a lasting, smooth, and shiny finish for years. I will go over with you the best way to clean it to also ensure the surface stays as shiny and smooth as possible. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all of my work, ensuring your satisfaction.
