Are you looking for bath re-enamelling or resurfacing? When your bath is dull, sticky, or chipped, restoring it completely is the ideal fix. At Surface Doctor Woolsington, we offer professional bath restoration to make your bath look brand new again, with no disruption to your bathroom. Get in touch now to see how I can help restore your bath.
With bath re-enamelling (or resurfacing), we apply a new surface to your bath, making it look brand new once again. The re-enamelling is performed right in your bathroom, avoiding any need to alter your bath setup. This high-quality enamel paint hardens in just 24 hours, so you can enjoy your bath again the very next day. During re-enamelling, I’ll fix any chips or scratches so the new enamel will create a smooth, perfect surface. My resurfacing service is suitable for cast-iron, metal, and acrylic baths. It only takes a day to do this procedure, which is much faster and cheaper than replacing your bath. My bath resurfacing is guaranteed for 12 months.
In today’s consumer culture, we often choose to replace over repair, but when it comes to baths, it’s not so easy. With baths, it's actually not that easy to get rid of the old one. 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. After removal, redoing the tiling, reinstalling taps and drains, and potentially replacing the flooring are necessary. Opting to restore your bath helps you avoid contributing to the large amount of construction waste produced every day. Traditional metal baths are common in older houses and can last for decades with proper maintenance. 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. 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.
For resurfacing your bath, I rely on high-quality, professional materials that are reserved for commercial use. You simply can't just use normal white paint to paint the surface. 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. I’ve trusted my preferred materials for years, knowing they consistently produce excellent, high-quality repairs.
All resurfacing is done directly in your bathroom, so you won’t have to remove your bath and deal with the hassle of transport and reinstallation. I complete all resurfacing in just one day in your bathroom, ensuring minimal disruption for you. Vitreous enamel is a specialized technique in which powdered glass is fused onto your bath at 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.
Before resurfacing, I will first fix any chips and dents to ensure the surface is flat and smooth. The repairs for chips and dents are included in the overall process with no hidden charges. There aren't many baths that I can't resurface, so give me a call today to find out if I can restore your bath for you in Woolsington.
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. Next, I will apply a layer of our unique bonder and fill in any chips, holes, cracks, or other imperfections. 4. I’ll then proceed to add another layer of bonder to ensure a strong surface bond. 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. Give it 24 hours to fully cure, and your bath will be as good as new!
It usually takes 5-7 hours to resurface or re-enamel a bath. 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. Masking and protection are vital to ensure no damage occurs to your bathroom. If your bath has chips or dents, they must be filled and repaired before resurfacing to ensure a smooth result. Repairing any chips and dents can take additional time, but ensures a better outcome.
My years of experience in bath resurfacing mean I can get your bath looking like it’s just been installed. Once your bath is re-enamelled, it will look and feel just like a new one.
Resurfacing your bath instead of replacing it can save you money and time, and it’s a more eco-friendly choice. Restoring your bath helps minimize environmental impact by preventing additional waste in landfills. I address all chip, crack, and scratch repairs as part of the bath resurfacing process.
Don’t expect to achieve the same outcome by using DIY materials from your local shop; I use only the best materials for the job. For over 10 years, I’ve trusted these materials to provide lasting, reliable results with every resurfacing job.
