Is your bath in need of 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! At Surface Doctor Burntwood, we specialize in restoring your bath to its original condition, with minimal disruption to your bathroom. 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. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. Using a unique enamel paint, it hardens and cures within 24 hours, allowing you to use your bath the 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. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
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. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last 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. With acrylic baths, their lifespan is not as long as traditional metal baths but they are still able to be resurfaced to a great result. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. 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. 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. 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. This service could never be offered in-situ due to the extreme heat involved and I don't know of many companies that are able to offer this any more for baths.
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. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Burntwood.
1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.
2. Next, I will sand the bath’s surface to remove the old finish and expose the metal underneath. 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 proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish. 7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!
Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 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 important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. 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 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. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
How durable is bath re-enamelling?
