Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. With Surface Doctor Newton-le-Willows, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.
Bath re-enamelling, or resurfacing, involves spraying a fresh surface onto your bath, restoring its original appearance. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following 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 resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
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 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. 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. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. When I repair individual chips and scratches on baths I have to colour match the repair to the surface of your bath, but with bath re-enamelling or bath resurfacing as I am respraying the whole surface I just use a new brilliant white enamel paint.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. A key step of successful resurfacing is using an adhesive bonder to bond the new surface to your original 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.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. 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. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Newton-le-Willows.
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 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. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 7. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!
On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 5-7 hours. The masking process to protect surrounding areas from overspray is one of the steps that can take a bit of time. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly.
