Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. Surface Doctor Fulham provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. When I re-enamel a bath, as part of the process I will fill in any chip repairs, scratch repairs, etc., that need to be done so that when the new enamel is sprayed on, the surface will be smooth again. I offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.
It’s become second nature to replace old items with new ones, but with baths, the process of removal and replacement is far more complicated. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. 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. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability 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. With individual repairs, I match the paint to your bath’s surface, but when resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a brilliant white enamel to the whole surface.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the 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. By working in-situ, I minimize disruption to you—only needing one day of work in your bathroom before I’m done. Vitreous enamel involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at high temperatures. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
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. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Fulham.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
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. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 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. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. 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. 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.
Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
