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. It’s not easy to dispose of an old bath, especially depending on its material. Cast-iron baths are extremely heavy and must be broken apart for removal, which often results in damage to your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. You'll have to re-do the tiling around the bath, have the taps and waste re-fitted, and potentially get new flooring done. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. 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. Resurfacing a bath requires more than just white paint—it involves specific materials designed for the task. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. Having used my chosen materials for years, I’m confident they provide the best, most durable resurfacing results.

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. Since I work in-situ, the entire resurfacing process is completed in just one day, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day life. 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. This service could never be offered in-situ due to the extreme heat involved and I don't know of many companies that are able to offer this any more for baths.

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. You won’t incur extra costs for this step—it’s included in the resurfacing service. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Stourbridge.
