Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. Using a unique enamel paint, it hardens and cures within 24 hours, allowing you to use your bath 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. I resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. 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. 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.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I have sourced a very specialised bonder which creates the most lasting results possible. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. 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 unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely 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 Denmead.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. A key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some time. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. Any chips or dents in your bath must be repaired first, as the new enamel surface won’t adhere properly if these aren’t fixed. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.
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. After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
