Everything you need to know about finding a Bath Resurfacing Specialist

The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the house as it used daily for cleansing and relaxation.  A well-designed bathroom in good condition means that you will get the most from it.  When your bathroom surfaces, tiles and fixtures are looking worn, cracked, chipped or faded, resurfacing could be the answer. Resurfacing can be a cheaper alternative to replacing a bathroom and involves a heavy new glossy surface applied on top of any porcelain, ceramic or fibreglass. Many services can be provided including:

• Change of colour 
• Removal and reinstallation of drain and overflow piece
• Recaulking of tub and tile join
• Polishing the tub
• Cleaning all chrome fixture
• Application of polymer glaze to increase hardness and durability of surface
• Resurfacing a ceramic tile wall
• Restoration of antique tubs and sinks
• Chip and scratch repair on ceramic and fibreglass
• Design and installation of custom built tubs and surround
• Formica counter tops

Resurfacing is not appropriate where crumbling or badly deteriorated surfaces are present.

What is involved in resurfacing your bath and basin

Hiring help to resurface your bath and basin

Some do it yourself resurfacing kits can be of assistance if the bath or surface is only slightly scratched or with a small chip, however professional assistance is needed for larger jobs.

Take your time and consideration in hiring a bathroom resurfacer as replacing the work will be a wasteful exercise. Only hire someone with a warranty on their work and those that use safe, authorised products. Watch out for workmen that may use low quality coating materials, and accredited bathroom surfaces are preferred.

Make sure the workman is covered by his company’s insurance as the process is dangerous and if anything goes wrong it can be quite harmful to your health.
