Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. Surface Doctor Peacehaven provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. This is all done in your bathroom so there is no messing with your bath installation or anything like that. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. As part of the re-enamelling process, I repair any chips or scratches to ensure a smooth finish when the new enamel is applied. I can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.
These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. 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.
The materials I use for bath resurfacing are professional-grade, specifically sourced for commercial applications. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I have sourced a very specialised bonder which creates the most lasting results possible. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.
All resurfacing is done directly in your bathroom, so you won’t have to remove your bath and deal with the hassle of transport and reinstallation. 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. Due to the extreme heat required, this service can’t be done in-situ, and few companies offer it these days.
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. There aren't many baths that I can't resurface, so give me a call today to find out if I can restore your bath for you in Peacehaven.
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. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention. 4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this. 5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating to your bath. 6. I will then buff this down to make it super shiny. 7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. A key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some time. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. If there are chips or dents in your bath, these need to be filled before resurfacing for the best possible results. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
I’ve been resurfacing baths for years, so I know exactly how to bring your bath back to life and make it look like new. After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. I repair chips, cracks, and scratches as part of the resurfacing process, ensuring a smooth finish.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
