Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. Here at Surface Doctor Crosby, 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, also known as bath resurfacing, is where a new surface is sprayed onto your bath so your bath looks brand new again. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the next day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. I offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. 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. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. 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 is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. 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.
The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. 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 use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of repairs.
With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. 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. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Crosby.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.
2. Next, I will sand the bath’s surface to remove the old finish and expose the metal underneath. 3. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention. 4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 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. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. Any chips or dents in your bath must be repaired first, as the new enamel surface won’t adhere properly if these aren’t fixed. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.
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.
Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. 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.
