Is your bath in need of re-enamelling or resurfacing? If your bath surface is dull, sticky, or has several chips, restoring the entire surface is the best solution. With Surface Doctor Wincanton, your bath can be restored to a brand-new condition without the mess or hassle of a full replacement. Call me today to find out how I can restore your bath.
Re-enamelling a bath, also known as resurfacing, involves applying a new enamel coating, restoring the bath to its original shine. 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. 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. Whether it's a cast-iron, metal, or acrylic bath, I can restore it to a like-new condition. In just a single day, your bath will be resurfaced, providing a quicker and more economical solution than full replacement. I offer a 12-month guarantee on my bath resurfacing services.
It’s become second nature to replace old items with new ones, but with baths, the process of removal and replacement is far more complicated. When it comes to baths, getting rid of the old one isn’t a quick or easy task. Removing cast-iron baths involves breaking them down due to their weight, leading to potential damage to the rest of your bathroom. Acrylic baths are lighter, making removal easier, but still cause damage to your bathroom when removed. 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. Many older homes feature metal baths that can last a lifetime with the right care. A quick resurfacing restores dull, chipped, or scratched metal baths to look brand new, providing a durable finish. While acrylic baths have a shorter lifespan than metal baths, resurfacing them gives great results. With individual repairs, I match the paint to your bath’s surface, but when resurfacing or re-enamelling, I apply a brilliant white enamel to the whole surface.
I use commercial-grade materials to resurface your bath, which are not available to the general public. 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. The specialized bonder I use provides the strongest and most lasting bond for bath resurfacing. For years, I’ve been using these proven materials, which consistently create the highest standard of bath repairs.
With my in-situ resurfacing service, you don’t need to remove or transport your bath—everything is done in your bathroom. Since I work in-situ, the entire resurfacing process is completed in just one day, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day life. Vitreous enamel is a unique process where powdered glass is fused to the surface of the bath at extremely 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.
If your bath is severely chipped or dented, I’ll repair these imperfections first to ensure a flawless surface for resurfacing. This is all included in the process and there won't be any extra charges for this. There are very few baths that I can’t resurface—call me today to find out if I can restore your bath in Wincanton.
1. First, I will mask the bathroom and surrounding areas to ensure they are fully protected during the process.
2. I will sand off the top surface of the bath to take it back to the metal. 3. Next, I will apply a layer of our unique bonder and fill in any chips, holes, cracks, or other imperfections. 4. Following this, I will apply an extra layer of bonder to strengthen the surface. 5. Now it’s time to spray the new enamel surface onto your bath for a flawless finish. 6. After spraying, I’ll buff the enamel to achieve a flawless shine. 7. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!
On average, re-enamelling or resurfacing your bath will take 5-7 hours. 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 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. If your bath has damage, this extra step can take a bit longer than if no repairs are needed.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. When you have your bath re-enamelled, it will look and feel like a brand new bath again.
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.
The materials I use are of the highest quality, which you won’t find at your local DIY store for DIY bath painting. Having used these materials for the last decade, I can confidently say they consistently produce the best, lasting results.
