Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. At Surface Doctor Twyford, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.
Bath resurfacing, or re-enamelling, is the process of spraying a new enamel surface onto your bath, giving it a fresh look. You won’t have to worry about altering your bath installation as the process is done in your bathroom. The enamel I apply fully cures within 24 hours, so your bath will be ready to use by the next day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. I resurface all types of baths including cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. This quick and cost-effective procedure only takes a day, saving you both time and money compared to a full bath replacement. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. 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. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. When you choose to restore your bath you are choosing the most environmentally friendly option as you won't be contributing to the vast amount of construction waste that gets produced on a daily basis. 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. With acrylic baths, their lifespan is not as long as traditional metal baths but they are still able to be resurfaced to a great result. 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.
I only use top-grade materials, exclusively available for commercial use, to resurface your bath. It’s impossible to use ordinary white paint for resurfacing your bath; it requires specialized materials. A successful resurfacing process involves using an adhesive bonder to securely attach the new surface to the bath. I’ve sourced a unique bonder that ensures the resurfaced surface lasts longer and stays durable. 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. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. 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. Due to the high temperatures involved, vitreous enamel can’t be performed in-situ, and it’s becoming increasingly rare among companies.
If your bath is badly chipped and dented, I will repair this first to ensure the surface is smooth and flat before resurfacing it. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Twyford.
1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.
2. The next step is to sand off the bath’s top surface, exposing the metal for resurfacing. 3. I will then apply a layer of our specialized bonder and carefully fill in any chips, cracks, or holes in the bath. 4. Next, I will apply an additional layer of bonder over the surface. 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. One of the steps that takes some time is masking up and protecting all the surfaces around your bath to make sure no overspray gets on anything. This step is crucial to ensure the surrounding areas remain undamaged. Before spraying the new enamel, any chips and dents need to be repaired to ensure a flawless finish. This can sometimes make the process take a bit longer than if there was no damage to fill.
I have been resurfacing baths for many years, so I will be able to get your bath looking brand new again! When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
Resurfacing your bath saves you money, reduces waste, and is a time-efficient, environmentally friendly option.
