Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? 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! At Surface Doctor Haywards-Heath, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.
Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. I use a special enamel paint which hardens and fully cures within 24 hours so you can use your bath again the next day! I’ll also take care of any chip or scratch repairs as part of the process, ensuring a smooth, flawless surface before the new enamel is sprayed. I resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. I stand behind my bath resurfacing work with a 12-month guarantee.
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. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. 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. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. 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.
The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of 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 is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at 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 has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. 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 Haywards-Heath.
1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 3. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. Next, I will apply a fresh enamel surface to your bath. 6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This is a very important part of the procedure. Any chips or dents in your bath must be repaired first, as the new enamel surface won’t adhere properly if these aren’t fixed. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. 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.
The materials I use are of the highest quality, which you won’t find at your local DIY store for DIY bath painting. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
