These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. 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. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. You'll have to re-do the tiling around the bath, have the taps and waste re-fitted, and potentially get new flooring done. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. 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. 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.

The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. 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. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.

All resurfacing is done directly in your bathroom, so you won’t have to remove your bath and deal with the hassle of transport and reinstallation. 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 specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.

If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Yate.
