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 Comiston provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.
Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. 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’ll also take care of any chip or scratch repairs as part of the process, ensuring a smooth, flawless surface before the new enamel is sprayed. 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. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. 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. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when 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. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. 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 I repair individual chips and scratches on baths I have to colour match the repair to the surface of your bath, but with bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing as I am respraying the whole surface I just use a new brilliant white enamel paint.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the 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.
With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. By working in-situ, I minimize disruption to you—only needing one day of work in your bathroom before I’m done. You may have heard of Vitreous enamel - this is a specialised procedure where the bath is coated in a powdered glass material and then this is fused onto the surface of your bath in a large kiln at very 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.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Comiston.
1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 3. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface. 4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 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 significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. This is a very important part of the procedure. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look 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. As part of the resurfacing process, I’ll take care of any chips, cracks, or scratches.
Don’t expect to achieve the same outcome by using DIY materials from your local shop; I use only the best materials for the job. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
