Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? If your bath looks worn, sticky, or chipped, a full restoration is the best approach. Surface Doctor Bordon 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, also known as bath resurfacing, is where a new surface is sprayed onto your bath so your bath looks brand new again. 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’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. I resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. 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 their surface becomes dull and tired, chipped, scratched, etc, it is so easy to resurface them so they look brand new again and you'll have a perfect and strong bath in no time. 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.
The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality 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. By working in-situ, I minimize disruption to you—only needing one day of work in your bathroom before I’m done. 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. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. 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 Bordon.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping it back to the metal. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. If there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.
I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. Choosing to repair and restore your bath means you're contributing less to landfill waste. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use top-quality materials that guarantee superior results, unlike anything you can achieve with DIY products from a local store. I have been using the same materials for the last 10 years, so I know that they work every time and will produce a lasting result.
