Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. With Surface Doctor Blackwood, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.
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. When I re-enamel a bath, as part of the process I will fill in any chip repairs, scratch repairs, etc., that need to be done so that when the new enamel is sprayed on, the surface will be smooth again. My resurfacing service is suitable for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.
It’s become second nature to replace old items with new ones, but with baths, the process of removal and replacement is far more complicated. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. 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. Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive 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. 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. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. Vitreous enamel involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at high temperatures. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
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 are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Blackwood.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 3. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention. 4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!
On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 5-7 hours. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.
