Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. I take care of filling in chips, scratches, and other repairs so that the final surface is smooth and flawless once the enamel is applied. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. 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. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. 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. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. When their surface becomes dull and tired, chipped, scratched, etc, it is so easy to resurface them so they look brand new again and you'll have a perfect and strong bath in no time. 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. When fixing chips and scratches, I match the color to your bath’s surface, but for re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a new white enamel finish.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. 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. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. 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. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Farnham.
1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.
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. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface. 5. Next, I will apply a fresh enamel surface to your bath. 6. The next step is to buff the surface, ensuring it has a smooth, shiny finish. 7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as 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. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. If there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. 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. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. As part of the resurfacing process, I’ll take care of any chips, cracks, or scratches.
I use the highest quality materials available, so don't think you can get the same result as me by painting your bath yourself with something from your local DIY shop. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
