Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. Surface Doctor Southampton provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. 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. As part of the re-enamelling process, I repair any chips or scratches to ensure a smooth finish when the new enamel is applied. I offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than 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. 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 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. 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! Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. With acrylic baths, their lifespan is not as long as traditional metal baths but they are still able to be resurfaced to a great result. When fixing chips and scratches, I match the color to your bath’s surface, but for re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a new white enamel finish.
The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the 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. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at 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 severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. 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 Southampton.
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. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish. 7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look brand new again. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
