Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. I take care of filling in chips, scratches, and other repairs so that the final surface is smooth and flawless once the enamel is applied. I offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work 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. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. 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 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. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive 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 to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. 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. This service could never be offered in-situ due to the extreme heat involved and I don't know of many companies that are able to offer this any more for baths.
If your bath is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. 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 Market Harborough.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this. 5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating to 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. 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. 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.
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. Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.
Don’t expect to achieve the same outcome by using DIY materials from your local shop; I use only the best materials for the job. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.
