Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. Surface Doctor Chadderton provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. 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. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. My resurfacing service is suitable 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.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. 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. 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. 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 is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. 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.
For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality repairs.
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. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.
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 Chadderton.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for 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. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to 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!
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 is a very important part of the procedure. 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. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
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.
Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. I repair chips, cracks, and scratches as part of the resurfacing process, ensuring a smooth finish.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate 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.
