Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. Surface Doctor Tonbridge provides a hassle-free bath restoration service that will make your bath look as good as new. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. 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’ll also take care of any chip or scratch repairs as part of the process, ensuring a smooth, flawless surface before the new enamel is sprayed. My resurfacing service is suitable for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. The entire procedure takes just one day, making it a quicker and more affordable option than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
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. With cast-iron baths, the removal process requires breaking them apart due to their weight, causing damage to your bathroom’s structure. Acrylic baths are lighter and easier to move, but removing them can still damage your bathroom. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. 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 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 might not last as long as metal ones, but resurfacing them still provides impressive results. 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.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. 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.
I complete all resurfacing work in-situ, so there’s no need to remove and transport your bath for repair. 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. Vitreous enamel is a unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely high temperatures in a kiln. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. Repairs to chips and dents are included in the resurfacing service with no additional cost. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Tonbridge.
1. I begin by masking up the bathroom and surrounding areas to prevent any damage during the procedure.
2. Step 2: I will carefully sand off the top layer of the bath, revealing the underlying metal surface. 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. Now I will spray on the new enamel surface to your bath. 6. I will proceed to buff the surface, giving it a glossy, smooth finish. 7. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!
Re-enamelling or resurfacing a bath will take about 5-7 hours to complete. A key part of the procedure is masking the bathroom to protect surfaces from overspray, which does take some time. This is a very important part of the procedure. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.
Having your bath resurfaced instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. Resurfacing your bath helps keep waste out of landfills, offering an eco-friendly alternative to replacement. Any chips, cracks, or scratches will be repaired during the resurfacing process to ensure a flawless result.
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.
