Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. 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 offer resurfacing services 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 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. Cast-iron baths are so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout 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. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. 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.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of repairs.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. 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. 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. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. There are no extra charges for this step; it’s all part of the resurfacing process. 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 Wellington.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping 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. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!
Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
