Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? When the surface of your bath looks dull, is sticky, or has multiple chips on it, the best thing to do is to restore the whole surface! Surface Doctor Bonnyrigg provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next day! I’ll also take care of any chip or scratch repairs as part of the process, ensuring a smooth, flawless surface before the new enamel is sprayed. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.
These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. 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. 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. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. When fixing chips and scratches, I match the color to your bath’s surface, but for re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a new white enamel 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. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the original bath. I have sourced a very specialised bonder which creates the most lasting results possible. 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. 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. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
If your bath is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. 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 Bonnyrigg.
1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface. 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. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand 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. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.
Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath.
