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 enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the 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. I offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. Getting rid of an old bath is not as straightforward as many people think. Cast-iron baths are so heavy that they have to be smashed to pieces before being carried out, which can lead to damage throughout your bathroom. While acrylic baths are much lighter and can be carried out more easily, it will still cause damage to the rest of your bathroom if you have it removed. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. 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.
The materials I use to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. 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. 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. Vitreous enamel is a unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely high temperatures in a kiln. Vitreous enamel resurfacing requires extreme heat, which means it can’t be done in-situ and is rarely offered by companies now.
If your bath is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Royston.
1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. I will now spray the new enamel surface onto 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!
On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 5-7 hours. A significant portion of the time is spent masking and protecting all surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray. 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. If there’s damage to repair, it can extend the process slightly compared to a bath without damage.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. 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. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. I repair chips, cracks, and scratches as part of the resurfacing process, ensuring a smooth finish.
I use top-quality materials that guarantee superior results, unlike anything you can achieve with DIY products from a local store. For the last 10 years, I’ve been using the same high-quality materials that deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
