Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. At Surface Doctor Fareham, we specialize in restoring your bath to its original condition, with minimal disruption to your bathroom. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.
Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. 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. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. 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. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. When you choose to restore your bath you are choosing the most environmentally friendly option as you won't be contributing to the vast amount of construction waste that gets produced on a daily basis. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.
The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of repairs.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. By working in-situ, I minimize disruption to you—only needing one day of work in your bathroom before I’m done. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.
If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. There aren't many baths that I can't resurface, so give me a call today to find out if I can restore your bath for you in Fareham.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention. 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. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look brand new again. Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
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.
