Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. Surface Doctor Thornton-Cleveleys provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
Bath re-enamelling, also known as bath resurfacing, is where a new surface is sprayed onto your bath so your bath looks brand new again. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the next day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. 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 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. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace 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. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. When I repair individual chips and scratches on baths I have to colour match the repair to the surface of your bath, but with bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing as I am respraying the whole surface I just use a new brilliant white enamel paint.
For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality 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. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. Vitreous enamel involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at high temperatures. This service could never be offered in-situ due to the extreme heat involved and I don't know of many companies that are able to offer this any more for baths.
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. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Thornton-Cleveleys.
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 will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 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. 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 key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some time. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. 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. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.
