Is your bath showing signs of wear and tear, needing re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. Here at Surface Doctor Glastonbury, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to learn more about how I can restore your bath to its best condition.
Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the next day. As part of the re-enamelling process, I repair any chips or scratches to ensure a smooth finish when the new enamel is applied. I resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. 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. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. 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. Repairing chips and scratches requires color matching, but with full bath resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a new white enamel for a flawless finish.
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. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath 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. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. There aren't many baths that I can't resurface, so give me a call today to find out if I can restore your bath for you in Glastonbury.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing 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’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. 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. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
