Optional extras during the resurfacing process include innovations such as Perma-Trim and Slip-resist.
Perma-Trim permanently seals the gap between the edge of the bath and wall tiles to provide an attractive alternative to fixing damaged grouting or mildewed and dirty silicone. Our Slip-Resist application creates a slip-resistant pattern on the base of the bath and is used by leading hotel groups and hospitals to enhance user safety.

FAQS
These words are often used interchangeably for the process of recoating your bath. Resurfacing and refinishing are both correct terms for Mend A Bath International’s process – your preference will depend on your country of origin. Re-enamelling and reglazing traditionally refer to processes that require the bath to be baked at high temperatures – a costly and often impractical solution.
Three main advantages are saving money, reducing intrusion time by workmen and adding value to your property. Mend A Bath International can save you up to 75% of the cost of replacing a bath, taking into account the hidden expense of retiling, replumbing and reflooring. Even breaking a single tile can have consequences if a matching one cannot be found. Resurfacing is a quick, ‘no mess, no fuss’ project when handled by our skilled technicians. It takes about three hours and you can start enjoying your resurfaced bath after 24 hours. Compare that to the disruption of having workmen in and out of your home for two weeks as they complete replumbing and retiling. If you have a quality cast iron enamel bath, resurfacing will restore it to its original glory and leave a brilliant, smooth finish. It adds enormous aesthetic appeal to your bathroom and can be an attractive feature when selling your home.
Yes, you can resurface your whole bathroom. The material is formulated for application on baths, basins, toilet pedestals and tiles – and in the colour of your choice.
Yes. Many people choose to have their old coloured baths resurfaced in a brilliant white, modern finish. With Mend A Bath International’s coating available in a range of colours, you can also resurface your bath to match your décor.
Every bath is subjected to different conditions, so there is no definitive answer. However, if well cared for, there is no reason a resurfaced bath will not look good after 10 years. If you treat the bath the way you would treat the bodywork of your car, it will remain in excellent condition. Mend A Bath International’s resurfacing work carries a five-year written guarantee.
We can apply our special Slip-Resist textured pattern to the base of your bath during the resurfacing process. Providing a slip-resistant surface is an optional service, but is essential for hotel and hospital environments.
We fill the gap between the bath and tiles with our innovative Perma-Trim product and cover this with our bath coating. Perma-Trim is a smarter, permanent alternative to unsightly grouting or mildewed and dirty silicone. This is an optional extra step during the resurfacing process and can be colour matched.
Your bath needs to be resurfaced when the enamel coat has worn thin and you can feel pitting – a series of very small holes – or roughness. In some cases, you can actually see the cast iron or pressed steel base through the enamel coat. If the bath has lost its shine, or you can see metal or dark areas on the surface, we highly recommend you opt for a full resurfacing.
