Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? When the surface of your bath looks dull, is sticky, or has multiple chips on it, the best thing to do is to restore the whole surface! At Surface Doctor Netherlee, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to learn more about how I can restore your bath to its best condition.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the 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 can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in 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 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. Repairing chips and scratches requires color matching, but with full bath resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a new white enamel for a flawless finish.
The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.
All of my resurfacing work is done in-situ, so you will never have to remove your bath and transport it to me, then have it delivered back and installed again. 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. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Netherlee.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top. 5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. If there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
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.
Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. I address all chip, crack, and scratch repairs as part of the bath resurfacing process.
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. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
