Bath resurfacing and re-enamelling services

The main service The Bath Business delivers is the resurfacing and restoration of baths to their original condition. We do this in situ without disturbing existing tiling and/or decoration. We can reenamel your cast iron bath and have it looking beautiful and new again.

We also resurface wash hand basins and shower trays. We also provide a chip repair service.

We provide the following resurfacing service:

 

If there is a silicon seal around the bath, it is removed.

 

Bath is thoroughly cleaned, removing any soap or grease from the surface.

 

The next thing is masking taps, overflow, waste and around the bath itself.

 

Any chips, grooves or rough areas in the bath are filled and smoothed.

 

The bath is now primed so the new surface will adhere to the old.

 

New surface is applied. Five coats are sprayed on.

 

Once the surface has dried somewhat, it is gone over and any dust is removed. We always polish the bath after resurfacing or re enamelling it. The means the bath is much smoother

  than it would be if not polished. The finish is a high gloss finish and the bath is much easier

  to clean.

Masking is removed.

 

Silicon seal is re-applied as necessary.

What would be the benefit of resurfacing or re-enameling a bath?

As a bath get older it looses its silky-smooth, glossy finish and dirt can start to build up. The bath surface can even start to feel rough in places, especially at any points where water puddles and doesn't quickly drain away. As more time passes it can get rougher and rougher and can even wear right back to the metal.

The bath will be getting harder to clean and often there will be a “tide mark”. Above that mark will be easy to clean and will look good. From that mark down the bath can become permanantly discoloured (often a kind of grey). Cleaning requires more and more “elbow grease”.

Another thing which resurfacing can take care of is that the bath can get chipped, especially on the edges. If these chips are deep enough they go down through the enamel to the metal, which, being black, makes the chip very obvious as well as unsightly.

Re-surfacing the bath will give it a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that is a uniform colour and has no chips or wear. In short, it will look like a new bath.

Specialist enamel bath paint is used. It is very tough and flexible. So to give you an idea of how tough it is, another use is to coat the outside of airplanes. If the bath is unsightly, stained, chipped or worn it can be resurfaced or re-enameled with the specialist enamel bath paint and the surface will be look smooth and be shiny and also very easy to clean again.

We resurface baths, basins and showers without removing them from your house.
