I resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. 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. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Although acrylic baths are easier to remove, the process still causes damage to surrounding areas in your bathroom. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.
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. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of repairs.
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 involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at 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. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Minehead.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. Now wait 24 hours before using your bath again and it will look brand new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. It’s essential to protect surrounding surfaces, as overspray could cause damage. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. 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. You won't be adding more wastage to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your bath. Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.
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.
