Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. At Surface Doctor Ormskirk, 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.
Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again 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. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. 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. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. 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. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many 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.
For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.
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 involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at high temperatures. 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 badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Ormskirk.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping it back to the metal. 3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. Next, I will apply a fresh enamel surface to your bath. 6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
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. Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.
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.
