Do you need bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. Here at Surface Doctor Marchmont, I can restore your bath for you so it looks brand new again without causing any disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to learn more about how I can restore your bath to its best condition.
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. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. I take care of filling in chips, scratches, and other repairs so that the final surface is smooth and flawless once the enamel is applied. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full 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. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. 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. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. 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. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. 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. Repairing chips and scratches requires color matching, but with full bath resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a new white enamel for a flawless finish.
For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. 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. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.
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. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. 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. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.
If your bath is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. There are no extra charges for this step; it’s all part of the resurfacing process. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Marchmont.
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. Next, I will apply a layer of our unique bonder and fill in any chips, holes, cracks, or other imperfections. 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!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. 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. If there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
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. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. I address all chip, crack, and scratch repairs as part of the bath resurfacing process.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. I’ve been working with these materials for over 10 years, ensuring consistent and durable outcomes every time.
