Give me a call now to learn more about how I can restore your bath to its best condition.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by 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. I resurface all types of baths including 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. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. 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 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 a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. 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 for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality repairs.
With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. 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 involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at high temperatures. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Four-Marks.
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. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface. 4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish. 7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. 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. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
I’ve been resurfacing baths for years, so I know exactly how to bring your bath back to life and make it look like new. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. 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. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
