Our offerings for customers in Formby

I'm here to help with all of your bath re-enamelling and bath resurfacing needs. Throughout my career in Formby, I’ve restored and resurfaced hundreds of baths, providing quality results. I offer a full range of resurfacing services including sink and shower tray resurfacing, plus chip and scratch repairs. For top-quality bath resurfacing, I’m your go-to professional!

Bathtubs come in all different shapes and sizes and materials. Exposure to water and abrasive cleaners such as bleach or CIF can cause damage to the bath’s surface, making it porous and harder to clean. When the shiny surface is worn down, the bath becomes porous, leading to dirt sticking to it and making cleaning difficult. Your bath might have multiple chips or scratches that need to be repaired. Bath resurfacing will ensure that your bath looks and feels brand new again. I resurface your bath on-site, and the first thing I’ll do is mask your bathroom to prevent any overspray from causing damage. Proper masking is vital to protect your bathroom from any unwanted damage. The process takes 5-7 hours to complete, after which the new enamel needs 24 hours to harden fully before your bath is ready for use.

Why you should restore your bath instead of replacing it

These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. Cast-iron baths are so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout your bathroom. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in 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 instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. 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. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.

There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. 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. 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. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.

Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Formby.

The Restoration Process, Step by Step:

1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.

2. Next, I will sand the bath’s surface to remove the old finish and expose the metal underneath.

3. Next, I will apply a layer of our unique bonder and fill in any chips, holes, cracks, or other imperfections.

4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond.

5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish.

6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine.

7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!

What is the time frame for completing the procedure?

Before and after bath resurfacing in Formby

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 is a very important part of the procedure. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. 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. After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.

Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. I repair chips, cracks, and scratches as part of the resurfacing process, ensuring a smooth finish.

I use top-quality materials that guarantee superior results, unlike anything you can achieve with DIY products from a local store. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.

How durable is bath re-enamelling?

After resurfacing, your bath will have a lasting, smooth, and shiny finish for years. I’ll provide guidance on how to clean the surface, keeping it as shiny and smooth as possible. I provide a 12-month guarantee on all of my work, ensuring your satisfaction.
