Is your bath showing signs of wear and tear, needing 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! Surface Doctor North Baddesley provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. 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 resurface all types of baths including 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.
These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. Cast-iron baths are so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout your bathroom. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of 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 is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. 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 to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the 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.
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. 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 unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely high temperatures in a kiln. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.
If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. 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 North Baddesley.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 3. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention. 4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 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!
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. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.
Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. As part of the resurfacing process, I’ll take care of any chips, cracks, or scratches.
The materials I use are of the highest quality, which you won’t find at your local DIY store for DIY bath painting. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
