Is your bath showing signs of wear and tear, needing re-enamelling or resurfacing? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. With Surface Doctor Fleet, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the next day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. My resurfacing service is suitable for 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. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. 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! A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. 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 simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the 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.
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. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
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. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Fleet.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 3. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention. 4. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. 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. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. 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 the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
