Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? If your bath looks worn, sticky, or chipped, a full restoration is the best approach. With Surface Doctor Peacehaven, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next day! During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. My resurfacing service is suitable 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 offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
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. Cast-iron baths weigh a ton and have to be smashed apart to be able to carry the pieces out of your house, and this obviously causes damage to the rest of your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. 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 instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.
For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. 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. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.
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. You may have heard of Vitreous enamel - this is a specialised procedure where the bath is coated in a powdered glass material and then this is fused onto the surface of your bath in a large kiln at very high temperatures. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. 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 Peacehaven.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. Next, I will sand the bath’s surface to remove the old finish and expose the metal underneath. 3. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention. 4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto 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!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. 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 there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
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.
Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
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.
