Mendabath UK resurfaces and re-enamels baths in homes across the UK: an eco-friendly, mess free and quick alternative to replacing your bath.
Old enamel baths tend to become rough and difficult to clean over time. When this happens, it’s time for Mendabath UK to conduct our bath resurfacing service. Acrylic baths over time start to discolour, thus making your bathroom look tired. Whether you need an enamel bath resurface or an acrylic bath repair, with Mendabath UK, your sparkling newly resurfaced bath is guaranteed to remain good as ever for another 5 years at least.
The Mendabath UK team can restore the aesthetics of your bath at a fraction of cost with our exclusive bath resurfacing and repair service. Resurfacing is a perfect solution for all kinds of baths ranging from acrylic and enamel to cast iron and fibreglass. Our specialist process is compatible with all materials allowing us to carry out work on any type of bathroom suite. From acrylic bath repairs to cast iron bath resurfacing, the finish will have your old bath looking white, bright and clean. With resurfacing, we get rid of all the stains and scratches, and apply a new surface coating for an immaculate finish.
Replacing a bath can cost you more than money. It creates a lot of mess and you will not be able to use the area for several days. Bath resurfacing is an eco-friendly and vegan friendly alternative that puts an end to all that hassle. Within a matter of hours, your bath will find a whole new sparkle. So, why replace what could be revived? Your bath will be brighter, whiter and smoother. A resurfaced bath will also be easier to clean and keep clean.
Whether you have an antique roll top, a ceramic bath or a modern plastic bath, Mendabath UK can resurface it and return it to its former glory.
Heavy, durable and long-lived, with a vitreous enamel coating.
Pressed steel or cast iron with a fired enamel coating.
Freestanding baths that can be restored inside and out.
Acrylic, composite and gel coated baths.
This is probably the question we get asked the most. It is not possible to quote without knowing the specific details, so here are some rough costings and a comparison of replacing a bath and resurfacing a bath. Estimates for the work involved and the cost of replacing a bath came from a friendly local builder, and our prices are meant as a guide only.
Metal based baths, cast iron and pressed steel, have a vitreous enamel coating. Fibreglass and composite baths have a gel coating. Each is prepared differently, so tell us at the quoting stage which type you have.
Clear photos, the history of the bath, whether the surface is original or previously coated, its dimensions (a standard bath is 1700x700x450mm) and any rust or significant damage all help us quote accurately.
Remove personal effects such as soaps, shampoo, toilet brushes, plants and towels. Wipe down shelves, window sills and light fittings so there is less dust to get into the spray.
If you plan to change the taps, or you have a shower screen, deal with them before the work begins. If in doubt, speak to the office before your technician arrives.
The room needs to stay at 20°C or above while the surface cures, so keep the heating on in colder months.
A new enamel bath is fired at very high temperatures, which cannot be repeated in a bathroom. Our spray finish is a high gloss, easy to clean surface, but it may feel slightly different to the original and minor textural variation can occur.
It is impossible to replicate a heat moulded acrylic finish with a spray gun, however the bath will have a new shiny finish.
Our guarantee is an adhesion guarantee, for 5 years on a full resurface. It is subject to exclusions where damage is caused by impact, chemicals or dripping taps and standing water, and it should be reported within 7 days of noticing.
Bath mats, pillows and toys with suction pads are not advisable. If used, wait at least four weeks and remove them after every use so the surface can dry.
If we do not feel resurfacing will last, we will say so and recommend replacement.
Photos and a few facts about your bath give us what we need to quote.
We send a detailed quote with our terms and conditions, so you know what to expect before we attend.
For full resurfacing, your technician will generally arrive between 8 and 9am, and we send a reminder email the day before with their name and arrival time.
The room is protected, the old sealant removed and the surface prepared, then our coating is sprayed on in our 30-stage process.
Once finished and you have inspected the work, close the door and leave the surface to cure for 24 hours before use.
The whole process will take between 5 and 7 hours, and the bath will be ready for use after only 24 hours.
We provide a good old fashioned 5 year guarantee. A well looked after bath will last well in excess of that, and some have been known to last up to 20 years, at which point the material will start wearing thin and your bath can be resurfaced again.
Resurfacing will very often save you around 60% on the cost of replacing your enamel bath. Every job is different, so we need your details to quote.
Tell us the history of the bath when you ask for a quote, including whether the surface is original or has been coated before.
There will be a paint smell as the bath cures. We run extraction before, during and after spraying, and there are no harmful chemicals in our material. Once your technician has finished and you have inspected the work, close the door until the following day.
Yes. Our material can be applied to baths, basins, pedestals and even tiles. We would recommend replacing the toilet.
