At Surface Doctor Weybridge, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Give me a call now to learn more about how I can restore your bath to its best condition.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. No need to change your bath installation, as all work is completed directly in your bathroom. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. As part of the re-enamelling process, I repair any chips or scratches to ensure a smooth finish when the new enamel is applied. My resurfacing service is suitable for 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. You can trust my bath resurfacing, which comes with a 12-month guarantee.
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. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. Removing your bath means redoing the tiling, refitting taps, and possibly replacing flooring, making it a costly and disruptive process. Restoring your bath instead of replacing it helps cut down on daily construction waste, making it a more sustainable option. Metal baths are often classic features of older homes and can last for many decades. When the surface of metal baths gets worn, chipped, or scratched, resurfacing makes them look brand new again, restoring strength and beauty. Acrylic baths may not last as long as metal baths, but they can still be resurfaced to great effect. 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. To ensure proper resurfacing, I use an adhesive bonder that bonds the new surface firmly to the original bath. I have sourced a very specialised bonder which creates the most lasting results possible. The materials I use have been trusted by me for years, and they provide unmatched results in bath resurfacing.
With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. By working in-situ, I minimize disruption to you—only needing one day of work in your bathroom before I’m done. Vitreous enamel involves coating your bath in powdered glass and fusing it onto the surface using a kiln at high temperatures. I’m not aware of many companies still offering this in-situ, as the extreme heat needed makes it impossible.
When your bath is badly chipped or dented, I’ll repair these areas first to ensure a smooth and even surface before resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. Most baths are suitable for resurfacing, so give me a call today to learn if I can restore your bath in Weybridge.
1. To prepare for the procedure, I will thoroughly mask the bathroom and all areas around your bath.
2. Next, I will sand the bath’s surface to remove the old finish and expose the metal underneath. 3. After applying our special bonder, I will fill in any holes, chips, or cracks that need attention. 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. After waiting 24 hours, your bath will be ready to use and look as good as new!
The entire bath re-enamelling or resurfacing process takes around 5-7 hours. Protecting the surrounding areas by masking is an important step that takes time to ensure no overspray damages surfaces. This important step ensures your bathroom remains safe from any accidental overspray. 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.
Having resurfaced baths for many years, I have the expertise to make your bath look brand new again. Re-enamelling will give your bath a fresh, new look and feel, making it look like new again.
Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice.
