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. Cast-iron baths weigh a ton and have to be smashed apart to be able to carry the pieces out of your house, and this obviously causes damage to the rest of your bathroom. While acrylic baths are much lighter and can be carried out more easily, it will still cause damage to the rest of your bathroom if you have it removed. 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. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. 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. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.

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. 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 unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely 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.

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 Hillingdon.
