Does your bath need resurfacing or re-enamelling? When you notice your bath is looking dull, sticky, or has chips, resurfacing the entire surface is recommended. With Surface Doctor Tring, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Give me a call now to see if I can help you with your bath.
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. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. Using a unique enamel paint, it hardens and cures within 24 hours, allowing you to use your bath the next day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. I offer resurfacing services for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This procedure is completed in one day, offering a faster and more budget-friendly alternative to replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
These days, it’s common to discard old items and buy new ones, but with baths, it’s not always that simple. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Cast-iron baths weigh a ton and have to be smashed apart to be able to carry the pieces out of your house, and this obviously causes damage to the rest of 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. Restoring your bath is the most eco-friendly choice, preventing the additional waste generated from removing and replacing it. 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. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. 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.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. One of the crucial steps for effective resurfacing is applying an adhesive bonder to attach the new surface to your original bath. I use a highly specialized bonder that ensures the most durable and lasting results for your bath. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.
All of my resurfacing work is done in-situ, so you will never have to remove your bath and transport it to me, then have it delivered back and installed again. 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 unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely high temperatures in a kiln. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.
If your bath is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. With only a few exceptions, I can resurface almost any bath—call me today to find out if I can restore yours in Tring.
1. I will mask up the bathroom and areas surrounding your bath thoroughly to prepare them for the procedure.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 3. I then will apply a layer of our special bonder and then fill in any holes, chips, cracks, etc. 4. After that, I will apply another layer of bonder on top. 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. Allow 24 hours for the surface to cure before using your bath, and it will look brand new!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. 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.
With years of experience in bath resurfacing, I can restore your bath to its original condition. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
Opting for bath resurfacing over replacement saves both time and money, while being better for the environment. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. 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. I have been using the same materials for the last 10 years, so I know that they work every time and will produce a lasting result.
