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
We then paint the exterior with an oxide primer, ready for a top coat of your choice.
Step Three
We then fill the faults before sanding it down again and thoroughly cleaning it before the next stage which ensures the surface is dust free and we have a good key to the surface which enables a strong adhesion of the prime coat.
Step Four
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 Five
We then paint on a high build epoxy primmer which we allow to cure for between 24-48 hours creating a solid bond with the bath.
Step Six
We then sand this down in preparation for the polyurethane mid coat. which is aloud to cure for another 24 hours.
Step Seven
We then sand this down in preparation for three coats of polyurethane high gloss top coat. Each coat is aloud to cure for 24 hours.
Step Eight
Your bath is then inspected before been allowed to totally cure for 7 days allowing for the fumes to dissipate completely.
Step Nine
Your bath is then inspected once more before been wrapped and loaded ready for its return!
Here is an example of just a few different options.

Comments from my clients

A bath like new after 20 years ! Thoroughly professional and a great job done. Thank you Billy, we really appreciated all your efforts.
Carola Mangnall
I have just had two baths restored to their former glory by Billy the Bath Buffer. Am thrilled with the results and after two hours of gruelling work a smiling and hot Billy emerged! Both baths look as good as new at a fraction of the cost. I couldn’t be more pleased and urge anyone with stained or damaged baths you give Billy a ring immediately!

Our bath time was pretty uncomfortable until Billy the Bath Buffer arrived and made two old baths look and feel (most importantly) like new! Barely took a morning and didn't make a mess....Brilliant!!
Clare Mosley
Bill Jackson "Billy the BathBuffer" came yesterday and absolutely transformed my lovely but old and stained cast iron bath. He couldn't have been nicer, more efficient, on time and generally did an excellent job. My bath now looks and feels white and silky smooth. I heartily recomend his work.

Q&A
Below are the answers to normal questions.
How much does it cost?
A typical bath takes up to 2 hours to polish and we charge a flat rate of £295.00.
How long will it last?
As long as you adhere to our simple cleaning instructions your bath should last a life time.
What if our bath has been spray painted?
We can remove the paint which takes about two hours and we charge £150 to do this. If the bath is not in good enough a condition to polish we will make the bath usable until we can get it properly re-surfaced.
Do you offer discounts for multiple baths?
Of course - subject to each baths condition. Normally we deduct £50 for each additional bath.
Do you cover the whole country?
Yes we can travel but if you are more than an hour from our base we do ask for a small contribution to our travel costs. We also try and book in other jobs in your area to make this more cost effective.
What if my bath can't be fixed?
We normally ask you to email us a photo of your bath before we come out but in the unlikely event that we can't improve your bath we ask for a small contribution for our time and possibly a cup of tea.
Can I use the bath straight away?
Yes in most cases your bath can be enjoyed immediately, however if we have to do a large repair to a chip or wear around the waste we ask that you leave it for at least 3 hours.
Can you do a demonstration?
Absolutely! We can polish a small test area on the understanding that if you are happy with the results that we will complete the bath there and then.
Sadly not, our process requires the bath to be taken to our work shop and resurfaced using our unique process which takes over a week to complete. There are a plethora of companies offering this service in situ that takes a few hours but it rarely last more than a few years, if that. If we could do it in four hours we would!
If you have any other questions please do get in touch.
