Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? 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 Corsham, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. Using a unique enamel paint, it hardens and cures within 24 hours, allowing you to use your bath the 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. 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. 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. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. When their surface becomes dull and tired, chipped, scratched, etc, it is so easy to resurface them so they look brand new again and you'll have a perfect and strong bath in no time. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. 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.
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 involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at high temperatures. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Corsham.
1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 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. 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!
On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 5-7 hours. A key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some 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. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
I’ve been resurfacing baths for years, so I know exactly how to bring your bath back to life and make it look like new. 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. Choosing to repair and restore your bath means you're contributing less to landfill waste. I repair chips, cracks, and scratches as part of the resurfacing process, ensuring a smooth finish.
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. 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.
