Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. At Surface Doctor Hillhead, we specialize in restoring your bath to its original condition, with minimal 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. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following 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. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes 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. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. 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 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. The use of an adhesive bonder is critical in resurfacing to create a solid bond between the new layer and the original bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. 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. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at high temperatures in a kiln. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. 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 Hillhead.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing 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. Next, I will apply a fresh enamel surface to your bath. 6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!
Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.
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.
Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. I repair chips, cracks, and scratches as part of the resurfacing process, ensuring a smooth finish.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. I have been using the same materials for the last 10 years, so I know that they work every time and will produce a lasting result.
