In this day and age, it is so easy to buy something new and throw away the old one rather than trying to have it repaired or restored. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. 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. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. 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 for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. 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. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath 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. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.

When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. 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 Ballymoney.
