Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. With Surface Doctor Cannock, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore 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. 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 offer resurfacing services for 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 stand behind my bath resurfacing work 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. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. Cast-iron baths weigh a ton and have to be smashed apart to be able to carry the pieces out of your house, and this obviously causes damage to the rest of your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. 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. 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. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond 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.
There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. This way there is minimal disruption to you as I will only need to be working in your bathroom for a day before I'm out of your hair again. 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. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. 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 Cannock.
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. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. 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. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.
