Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. At Surface Doctor Camden, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.
Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. 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 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 can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also 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.
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. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. 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. While acrylic baths are much lighter and can be carried out more easily, it will still cause damage to the rest of your bathroom if you have it removed. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. 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. 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.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your 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.
All resurfacing is done directly in your bathroom, so you won’t have to remove your bath and deal with the hassle of transport and reinstallation. Since I work in-situ, the entire resurfacing process is completed in just one day, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day life. 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. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.
If your bath has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. 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 Camden.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 3. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface. 4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this. 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. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. A key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some time. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. 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.
Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
