What We Do...
This is how we restore our baths and we also offer this service to clients who have
their own baths needing a new lease of life at an affordable price.
The 12 steps of our bath restoration
Step One
If required, we remove all the old external paint and grind off any casting imperfections and fill any cast holes or scars.
Step Two
The exterior is painted with an oxide primer, ready for a topcoat of your choice.
Step Three
The interior of the bath is sanded and thoroughly cleaned which ensures we have a good key to the surface, enabling a strong adhesion of the primer coat.
Step Four
For good measure we acid etch the bath which removes any remaining glaze, and then thoroughly rinse the bath out.
Step Five
Any remaining imperfections are carefully filled before sanding down ready for the 1st primer coat.
Step Six
In extreme cases, we paint the whole bath with a specialist liquid filler and then sand it again ensuring a totally smooth surface.
Step Seven
We then give it a light coat of epoxy primer which enables us to spot even the smallest imperfections which are then filled and sanded down.
Step Eight
At this stage we paint on a high build epoxy primer which is allowed to cure for between 24-48 hours creating a solid bond with the bath.
Step Nine
We sand the bath down in preparation for the polyurethane mid coat which is allowed to cure for another 24 hours.
Step Ten
The bath is then sanded down again in preparation for three coats of polyurethane high gloss top coat. Each coat is allowed to cure for 24 hours.
Step Eleven
Your bath is then inspected before being allowed to totally cure for 7 days allowing for the fumes to dissipate completely.
Step Twelve
We carry out a final polish of your bath before it is wrapped and loaded ready for its return!
