Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next day! As part of the re-enamelling process, I repair any chips or scratches to ensure a smooth finish when the new enamel is applied. I resurface all types of baths including 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. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. When you choose to restore your bath you are choosing the most environmentally friendly option as you won't be contributing to the vast amount of construction waste that gets produced on a daily basis. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many 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. When fixing chips and scratches, I match the color to your bath’s surface, but for re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a new white enamel finish.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. 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. 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. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. You may be familiar with Vitreous enamel, a specialized process where powdered glass is fused to the bath’s surface in a high-temperature kiln. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.
If your bath has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. 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 Morley.
1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.
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. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish. 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. 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. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look brand new again. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. I repair chips, cracks, and scratches as part of the resurfacing process, ensuring a smooth finish.
I use the highest quality materials available, so don't think you can get the same result as me by painting your bath yourself with something from your local DIY shop. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
