Surface Doctor Slough provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.
Bath re-enamelling, also known as bath resurfacing, is where a new surface is sprayed onto your bath so your bath looks brand new again. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. Using a unique enamel paint, it hardens and cures within 24 hours, allowing you to use your bath the next day. When I re-enamel a bath, as part of the process I will fill in any chip repairs, scratch repairs, etc., that need to be done so that when the new enamel is sprayed on, the surface will be smooth again. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. 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. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. Metal baths are a lasting feature of older homes, providing durability for decades. When their surface becomes dull and tired, chipped, scratched, etc, it is so easy to resurface them so they look brand new again and you'll have a perfect and strong bath in no time. 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 to resurface your bath are professional grade that are only available on a commercial basis. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the original bath. The bonder I use is specifically sourced to guarantee the best, long-lasting outcomes. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.
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. My in-situ resurfacing allows me to complete the job within a day, so you’ll be back to normal quickly. 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.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. There are no extra charges for this step; it’s all part of the resurfacing process. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Slough.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. I’ll sand down the top surface of your bath, stripping it back to the metal. 3. Once the bonder is applied, I’ll proceed to fill any chips, cracks, or holes in the surface. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 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!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. 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. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are 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. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
Choosing to resurface your bath rather than replace it is a cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally conscious decision. Choosing to repair and restore your bath means you're contributing less to landfill waste. I can handle any chip repairs, crack repairs, and scratch repairs needed as part of the resurfacing.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate with DIY products from a local store. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
