With Surface Doctor Kells, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.
Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following 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. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. 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. 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.
The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. 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. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. 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.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. 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 Kells.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. Next, I will apply a layer of our unique bonder and fill in any chips, holes, cracks, or other imperfections. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 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. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!
On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 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. If there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
