Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath 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! Surface Doctor Cinderford 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 re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. 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! During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. 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. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. 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 and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. 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 a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. 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.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.
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. 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. 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.
If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Cinderford.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 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. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand 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. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. 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. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. As part of the resurfacing process, I’ll take care of any chips, cracks, or scratches.
The materials I use are of the highest quality, which you won’t find at your local DIY store for DIY bath painting. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
