Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. Here at Surface Doctor Easington-Lane, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.
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. 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. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.
It’s become second nature to replace old items with new ones, but with baths, the process of removal and replacement is far more complicated. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. 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. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. Repairing chips and scratches requires color matching, but with full bath resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a new white enamel for a flawless 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. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. 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. 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. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
If your bath has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. 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 Easington-Lane.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
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. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this. 5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. 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. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. 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. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. Choosing to repair and restore your bath means you're contributing less to landfill waste. 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.
