The Trusted Bathtub Resurfacing Team for Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Beyond

Restore the bath already in your bathroom with our superb resurfacing services. Whether you have a free-standing bath, a built-in style, or a shower bath, Antique Bath Sydney’s team can restore it for an affordable cost.

 

We are the only company in Australia restoring cast iron bathtubs using Vitreous Enamel, which is fired at 850C and is acid and alkaline resistant. Our bathtub resurfacing expertise is utilised by clients in Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and throughout Australia.

 

Antique Baths do need your bath here at the factory, as it will go into a furnace several times as part of the restoration. We commonly receive baths that have been through the two-pack paint industry, which is referred to as glazing, synthetic porcelain, baked enamel or Hi Tech.

 

Ultimately, it all comes down to being a form of paint. Glossy paint is not designed to be immersed in warm or hot water, as the heat of the water opens the pores of the paint, enabling the water to seep under the paint, hence lifting and cracking away from the cast iron structure. If it is not fired in a furnace, then it is not a genuine vitreous (porcelain) product you are receiving.

 

Antique Baths is happy to show you the procedure of vitreous enamelling, just come and visit the factory showroom.

Foot mounting of Chinese Bath bogged with metal putty

Restored Imported Chinese Bath

This bath came in for restoration, only two years old purchased through an importer.

Restore Your Bathtub with our Resurfacing Services

Antique Baths Sydney also restore imported baths from China, as majority of imported baths come from China, NOT EUROPE OR USA. 

 

An example of a bath that a consumer purchased from an importer and when unwrapped discovered that not only was the interior surface damaged, but the foot mounting was bogged with metal putty. The importer told the consumer to send it back to China to have it repaired?

 

You don’t have to pay hefty shipping fees just to have it poorly repaired where you can’t view their work. Instead, have our bath resurfacing experts lower the cost for you by doing the job right here.

1880's Phoenix Bath Feet 

Phoenix Bath before Restoration

Phoenix 1880's Bath after restoration 

This 1880s Phoenix bath had come out of a paddock from Wellington NSW and is now restored to its former beauty.

 

Another bathroom centerpiece in for resurfacing has been through the two pack "baked enamel" spray painted surface. During our research in the late 1980s, chemists that designed paint stipulated that paint should not be immersed in water as it can cause the lifting and peeling you see in the pictures.
