Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.
Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. 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! When I re-enamel a bath, as part of the process I will fill in any chip repairs, scratch repairs, etc., that need to be done so that when the new enamel is sprayed on, the surface will be smooth again. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also 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 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. While acrylic baths are much lighter and can be carried out more easily, it will still cause damage to the rest of your bathroom if you have it removed. 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! 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. Repairing chips and scratches requires color matching, but with full bath resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a new white enamel for a flawless finish.
The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality repairs.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. Since I work in-situ, the entire resurfacing process is completed in just one day, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day life. 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 high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. 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 Tewkesbury.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
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. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. The next step is to buff the surface, ensuring it has a smooth, shiny 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. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. 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. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
