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 weigh a ton and have to be smashed apart to be able to carry the pieces out of your house, and this obviously causes damage to the rest of your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. You'll have to re-do the tiling around the bath, have the taps and waste re-fitted, and potentially get new flooring done. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. 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. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. 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.

The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond 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.

With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. 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. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.

If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Kenilworth.
