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. 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 offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. Cast-iron baths are so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout 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. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! When their surface becomes dull and tired, chipped, scratched, etc, it is so easy to resurface them so they look brand new again and you'll have a perfect and strong bath in no time. 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. 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.
For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. 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. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality 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. You may have heard of Vitreous enamel - this is a specialised procedure where the bath is coated in a powdered glass material and then this is fused onto the surface of your bath in a large kiln at very high temperatures. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
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 Juniper Green.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 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. The next step is to buff the surface, ensuring it has a smooth, shiny finish. 7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!
Typically, re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath takes between 5 and 7 hours. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. 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. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
Don’t expect to achieve the same outcome by using DIY materials from your local shop; I use only the best materials for the job. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
