Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. At Surface Doctor Blyth, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following day. I take care of filling in chips, scratches, and other repairs so that the final surface is smooth and flawless once the enamel is applied. I offer resurfacing services 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. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
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 so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage 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. When you choose to restore your bath you are choosing the most environmentally friendly option as you won't be contributing to the vast amount of construction waste that gets produced on a daily basis. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. When I repair individual chips and scratches on baths I have to colour match the repair to the surface of your bath, but with bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing as I am respraying the whole surface I just use a new brilliant white enamel paint.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the original bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.
There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. 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.
If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Blyth.
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. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. The next step is to buff the surface, ensuring it has a smooth, shiny finish. 7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
I’ve been resurfacing baths for years, so I know exactly how to bring your bath back to life and make it look like new. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. Choosing to repair and restore your bath means you're contributing less to landfill waste. As part of the resurfacing process, I’ll take care of any chips, cracks, or scratches.
I use the highest quality materials available, so don't think you can get the same result as me by painting your bath yourself with something from your local DIY shop. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.
