Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. The special enamel I use hardens and cures in 24 hours, ensuring your bath is ready for use the following 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 can resurface all cast-iron and metal baths, and also acrylic baths. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
In today’s world, replacing items with new ones is easy, but when it comes to baths, it’s not as straightforward. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Removing the bath means you’ll have to replace the tiling, reinstall taps and waste, and maybe even redo the flooring. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. 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. Though acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing restores them to a like-new condition. When fixing chips and scratches, I match the color to your bath’s surface, but for re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a new white enamel finish.
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. 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.
There’s no need to remove your bath or deal with complicated transport, as all of my resurfacing work is done in-situ. This way there is minimal disruption to you as I will only need to be working in your bathroom for a day before I'm out of your hair again. 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. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Sutton Coldfield.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. I will then apply another layer of bonder over this. 5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 6. Next, I’ll buff the surface to a high shine. 7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!
On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 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. Any chips or dents in your bath must be repaired first, as the new enamel surface won’t adhere properly if these aren’t fixed. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
