Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. With Surface Doctor Huyton, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very 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 can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. This quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
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 and easier to move, but removing them can still damage 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 often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. 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. 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.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. By working in-situ, I minimize disruption to you—only needing one day of work in your bathroom before I’m done. 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. 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 is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Huyton.
1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 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. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto your bath. 6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish. 7. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
