Here at Surface Doctor Prestwich, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any 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. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following day. I’ll also take care of any chip or scratch repairs as part of the process, ensuring a smooth, flawless surface before the new enamel is sprayed. I resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
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. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for 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.
The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality repairs.
All resurfacing is done directly in your bathroom, so you won’t have to remove your bath and deal with the hassle of transport and reinstallation. 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. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.
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. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Prestwich.
1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this. 5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating to your bath. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!
On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 5-7 hours. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This is a very important part of the procedure. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.
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.
