Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. At Surface Doctor Farnborough, we specialize in restoring your bath to its original condition, with minimal disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to learn more about how I can restore your bath to its best condition.
Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. 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. When I re-enamel a bath, as part of the process I will fill in any chip repairs, scratch repairs, etc., that need to be done so that when the new enamel is sprayed on, the surface will be smooth again. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.
In this day and age, it is so easy to buy something new and throw away the old one rather than trying to have it repaired or restored. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. Cast-iron baths weigh a ton and have to be smashed apart to be able to carry the pieces out of your house, and this obviously causes damage to the rest of your bathroom. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. 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.
The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. 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. 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 be familiar with Vitreous enamel, a specialized process where powdered glass is fused to the bath’s surface in a high-temperature kiln. 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 is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Farnborough.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping it back to the metal. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating to your bath. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 7. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as 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. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. Re-enamelling your bath will restore it to a like-new appearance and feel.
Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. 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.
The materials I use are of the highest quality, which you won’t find at your local DIY store for DIY bath painting. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.
