Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? When the surface of your bath looks dull, is sticky, or has multiple chips on it, the best thing to do is to restore the whole surface! With Surface Doctor Swindon, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Contact me today to discuss how I can help with your bath restoration.
Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. 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. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. My bath resurfacing services are backed by a 12-month guarantee for peace of mind.
In this day and age, it is so easy to buy something new and throw away the old one rather than trying to have it repaired or restored. Removing an old bath isn’t as simple as it may seem. 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. Even with lighter acrylic baths, removal can lead to damage to the rest of your bathroom. Once removed, you’ll need to re-tile around the bath, refit taps and drains, and possibly replace flooring. By restoring your bath, you’re choosing an environmentally responsible option, reducing construction waste. Metal baths are usually original features of older houses, and they will last for decades! When a metal bath shows signs of wear, resurfacing is a quick and effective way to restore it to its original condition. Acrylic baths might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. For individual repairs like chips and scratches, I color match the repair to your bath, but with re-enamelling or resurfacing, I use a fresh white enamel to respray the entire surface.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. You can’t simply apply regular white paint to resurface your bath. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the original bath. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. I have been using my preferred materials for many years so I know that they work and create the highest standard of repairs.
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 is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at 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.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. I can resurface most baths, so contact me today to see if I can restore yours in Swindon.
1. I’ll carefully mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to protect them during the resurfacing process.
2. Next, I will sand the bath’s surface to remove the old finish and expose the metal underneath. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 5. At this stage, I will apply a new enamel coating to your bath. 6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish. 7. You’ll need to wait 24 hours before using your bath, and it will be as good as new!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. A key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some time. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. If your bath has lots of chips and dents then these also have to be filled in and repaired before the new enamel surface is sprayed on as you won't get a good result if the bath isn't repaired first. This may add some extra time to the procedure if there are repairs needed.
I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! After having your bath re-enamelled, it will look brand new and feel completely refreshed.
Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. By restoring your bath, you’re reducing waste and avoiding adding more to your local landfill. I address all chip, crack, and scratch repairs as part of the bath resurfacing process.
I use premium materials that ensure a flawless finish, something you can’t replicate 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.
