Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? 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! Here at Surface Doctor Wallasey, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. This quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. 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. 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 specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.
With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. You may be familiar with Vitreous enamel, a specialized process where powdered glass is fused to the bath’s surface in a high-temperature kiln. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Wallasey.
1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.
2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping it back to the metal. 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. Next, I will apply a fresh enamel surface to your bath. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 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 is a very important part of the procedure. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
