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. Here at Surface Doctor Redditch, 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 see if I can help you with your bath.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. The process is carried out directly in your bathroom, so no disruption to your bath installation or plumbing. 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. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
It’s become second nature to replace old items with new ones, but with baths, the process of removal and replacement is far more complicated. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. 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. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. Resurfacing is a simple and effective solution for worn, chipped, or scratched metal baths, making them look new and strong again. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. 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. Regular paint won’t do the job for bath resurfacing; the right materials are essential for success. 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. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.
There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. 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 has significant chips or dents, I’ll handle the repairs to make sure the surface is even and smooth before the resurfacing process. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Redditch.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface. 5. Next, I will apply a fresh enamel surface to your bath. 6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. 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. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. 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. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
