With Surface Doctor Croxley-Green, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.
Bath re-enamelling, also known as bath resurfacing, is where a new surface is sprayed onto your bath so your bath looks brand new again. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very 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. This quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of 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. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability 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. 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. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.
All of my resurfacing work is done in-situ, so you will never have to remove your bath and transport it to me, then have it delivered back and installed again. Since I work in-situ, the entire resurfacing process is completed in just one day, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day life. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. There are no extra charges for this step; it’s all part of the resurfacing process. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Croxley-Green.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating 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!
Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. If there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
I’ve been resurfacing baths for years, so I know exactly how to bring your bath back to life and make it look like new. Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.
Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. 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. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
