Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. At Surface Doctor Rowley Regis, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.
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. 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. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
It’s become second nature to replace old items with new ones, but with baths, the process of removal and replacement is far more complicated. 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. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. 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 usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive 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. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of repairs.
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 involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at high temperatures. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. 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 Rowley Regis.
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. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 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!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. 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.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use top-quality materials that guarantee superior results, unlike anything you can achieve with DIY products from a local store. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
