Acrylic Bath Hole Repair in Folkestone

A hole in your acrylic bath can happen easily, often from a dropped object puncturing the surface. Surface Doctor’s acrylic bath hole repair in Folkestone offers a cost-effective solution to restore most holes, ensuring a seamless finish that matches your bath’s original appearance, avoiding the need of swapping.

Surface Doctor can fix most damages in acrylic tubs in Folkestone, provided we can access the underside of the affected spot. For example, a damage between the faucets is repairable if we can access underneath the bath to that location. However, repairs might not be feasible in:

Base Damage: Older plastic baths often have a chipboard layer under the base, blocking access to the back of the hole.

Edge Damage: Wooden supports under the edges of aging baths can impede access, making fixes challenging.

Unsure if your tub’s damage is repairable? Take off the bath panel to check if you can access the affected spot by touch, or call Surface Doctor at 01342 324 577. Or, send a picture of the damage, and our lead technician will evaluate the feasibility of acrylic bath hole repair in Folkestone.

If your acrylic bath is a standard size (e.g., 1700mm) and can be extracted minus disturbing tiles, especially if you’re handy with plumbing, swapping the tub might be more affordable. A new tub comes with a warranty and a pristine finish. But, if extraction involves significant tile replacement or complex reinstallation, acrylic bath hole repair in Folkestone is a practical solution, reducing time and hassle in your Folkestone bathroom.

Bath Resurfacing in Kent

At Surface Doctor, our primary service is bath resurfacing in Folkestone, a process that renews your bath by laying its damaged surface to fix staining, rough textures, scratches, or an obsolete color. Renew your bathroom's aesthetic with little hassle and expenditure compared to exchanging bathtub.

Why Choose Bathtub Resurfacing in Folkestone?

Bathtub renewal in Kent handles common problems such as:

  • Tough-to-Clean Surfaces: Worn coating turns uneven, collecting dirt and hindering upkeep.
  • Persistent Stains and Limescale: Rough enamel lets blemishes to stick, leaving your tub looking worn.
  • Damaged Coating: Scratches displaying the underlying material can be unsightly and get worse over time.
  • Uneven Base Coating: Degraded sections, especially where water pools, become gritty and are problematic to upkeep.
  • Bath Line Marks: Areas below the waterline grow uneven and marked, while above areas remains shiny.

Our bathtub renewal in Folkestone service produces a uniform, glossy, low-maintenance finish that handles these challenges, available in tailored tones to match your style.

Our Bathtub Refinishing Process in Kent

Surface Doctor generally performs tub recoating in Folkestone in-place, meaning we don't displace the tub or disturb installed fixtures or tiling. The process is executed in a couple of hours, and your tub is functional within a brief time. Here's how we do it:

  1. Cleaning: We treat and abrade the bathtub to create a perfect foundation.
  2. Recoating: A permanent, quality enamel coating is sprayed, modified to your selected tone.
  3. Drying and Finishing: We bake the bathtub for a fast finish, then buff and buff for a deep, lustrous appearance

For illustration, we recoated a Fireclay bath in Folkestone, assumed to be an original French design. Huge at a ton, this bathtub necessitated a solid support but was altered to a spectacular, flawless, shiny finish. The interior designer and client were elated with the end result.

Reviving Antique and Victorian Baths in Kent

Surface Doctor is specialized in resurfacing vintage Victorian cast-iron and antique roll-top baths, which are more elegant than current acrylic tubs but commonly show deterioration. We've renovated baths sitting outside for decades, rejuvenating their beauty with a glossy finish that enhances any elegant bathroom in Kent.

Vintage tubs may have characteristic features like waves, raised areas, dips, or tiny holes from the original coating method. These are their particular appeal and are emphasized after recoating due to the mirror-like gloss finish. Our technicians in Kent fix as many defects as possible without reducing adhesion, though some may stay as vintage qualities, notably on the tub's edges.

For instance, we resurfaced an antique roll-top plunger bath in Scotland's Melrose, restoring its worn, discolored surface into a shiny work of art.

Non-Slip Bath and Shower Tray Coating in Folkestone

Surface Doctor’s non-slip bath and shower tray coating in Folkestone improves safety by adding a textured surface to your bath or pan, preventing falls while preserving a natural appearance. Our expert solution delivers a durable, translucent anti-slip coating that integrates seamlessly with your Folkestone bathroom.

Tubs and shower trays are crafted with glossy, hard surfaces to facilitate easy maintenance and keep their aesthetic. But, these polished areas can turn highly slick when wet, raising the chance of serious accidents. Surface Doctor’s non-slip bath and shower tray coating in Folkestone applies a rough surface that offers traction for your stance, ensuring safety without compromising appearance.

Our non-slip bath and shower tray coating in Folkestone is ideal for:

Elderly or Disabled Users: Applying a permanent anti-slip coating to an current slippery tub in Folkestone homes for safety.

Hotels and Facilities: Providing a durable anti-slip solution that’s integrated, eliminating optional mats that can breed germs or be forgotten.

Degraded Non-Slip Areas: Restoring traction on baths or shower trays where the existing non-slip area has worn out after years.

Post-Resurfacing: Adding a non-slip coating to restored baths or shower trays in Folkestone, which become overly smooth and lose grip. Note: Using a pad on a resurfaced bath can damage the new finish.

As an example, we added a anti-slip finish to a newly installed plastic tub in Folkestone for a tenant with mobility issues. The smooth surface was excessively slippery, and our translucent rough layer ensured security while maintaining the bath’s appearance.
