I live in Twickenham in SW London and would like to re-enamel a bath. Do you know anyone whom I can contact locally? Regards Antony
of people had problems with them and now hardly anyone is doing it. I think there were always eventually problems with sealing the waste against the original ,and distortion in this area. But dont quote me on that .
Can anyone recommend where I can get training to resurface & repair chips in/on baths. The only place I have found is in the USA. I dont want to buy a franchise and I cant find a course doing this anywhere. My business would be basedin Hastings so if any of you professionals would consider training me ( I will of course pay you) then please let me know. Kind regards
We can supply training, equipment, materials etc for you to set up your own business with no franchise committments. Call me on 01277 218418.
I think you'll find that there will be plenty of people willing to train you without a franchise - but you'll might just be tied in to buying a minimum quantity of some very overpriced materials.....bit like swings and roundabouts really!!

There are plenty of suppliers in the states who will happily sell you products cheaper than you can buy here - just do your maths first - import duty and 'handling' fees can almost double the cost. I went to train with 'Integrity Coatings' in Dallas (http://www.integritycoatings.com) and often buy materials from Hawk labs (http://www.hawklabs.com) Hawk also offer training but are quite pricy - but very good. NON require you to use their materials. You pay for training and thatÂ’s that. My turbine & spray gear is supplied by C.J. Spray (http://www.cjspray.com) - again all in the states. 3 years ago I flew over, got accommodation, did the training and purchased my spray equipment for around £1000. If you want the easier 'no ties' supplier try a guy called Simon Baily at The Lab in London [Log in to view email] Bit pricy but all above board and plenty of advice - or go through http://www.diversifiedcoatings.biz to contact him as I think they supply him with his resurfacing materials. My turbine & gun is still going strong after 2+ years - but the gun does need new seals etc. The current $ / £ exchange rate means most UK suppliers of training and equipment can't touch the Yanks' prices - and you get a bit of a holiday thrown in. Don't forget that you can also offset much of it on your tax return - you might even get a training allowance via a local authority training scheme! If you want any more advice mail me at [Log in to view email] Good luck
We have an old cast iron bath in need of attention.
Without going into the secrets - how does your process differ? Also, do you repair chips with a filler & top coat or all resin as I understand Renubath do.
The main difference is that thermoglaze is not a paint enamel but a synthetic porcelain glaze. It is therefore more durable than paint surfaces, has a more original looking finish and is easier to work with. What do you use? I use both those methods to repair chips and also have another material that can be used. It all depends on the surface. Regards Steve
Is it correct to say that your coating is still a solvent based polymer coating that is sprayed on?
