Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? When the surface of your bath looks dull, is sticky, or has multiple chips on it, the best thing to do is to restore the whole surface! At Surface Doctor Stamperland, 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 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. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. 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. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.
In this day and age, it is so easy to buy something new and throw away the old one rather than trying to have it repaired or restored. 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. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. 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. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. With individual repairs, I match the paint to your bath’s surface, but when resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a brilliant white enamel to the whole surface.
The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original 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.
There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. Vitreous enamel is a unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely 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 badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. There are no extra charges for this step; it’s all part of the resurfacing process. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Stamperland.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. Next, I will apply a layer of our unique bonder and fill in any chips, holes, cracks, or other imperfections. 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. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. 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. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.
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.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.
Don’t expect to achieve the same outcome by using DIY materials from your local shop; I use only the best materials for the job. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.
