Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When the surface of your bath looks dull, is sticky, or has multiple chips on it, the best thing to do is to restore the whole surface! Here at Surface Doctor Gosport, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following 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 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 offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
In this day and age, it is so easy to buy something new and throw away the old one rather than trying to have it repaired or restored. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of 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. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. 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. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. 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.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality repairs.
All of my resurfacing work is done in-situ, so you will never have to remove your bath and transport it to me, then have it delivered back and installed again. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. 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.
If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Gosport.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top. 5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 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!
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. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
