The enamelling process where attention to detail is paramount

Developed in Switzerland and perfected in the UK, Bath Shield uses a unique baked enamelling system that has been tried and tested for over 30 years in the finest hotels, properties, palaces and homes all over the world.

Preparing the Bath:

After thorough cleaning and drying of the surface, chips and scratches are filled using specialist compounds. The surrounding area is then masked off and covered, and the enamelling equipment is set up.

Bonding & Enamelling:

Most enamelling companies use dated bonding methods based on sanding down or acid etching the bath surface to bond the new coating. Bath Shield has developed a twin stage, ultrasonic bonding system that fuses the bath surface to the new enamel. This dramatically increases the durability and longevity of the new enamel surface.

Baking the New Enamel:

After the bath has been enamelled with up to 20 coats of enamel, the surface is 'baked' using infrared lamps. This gives the bath a tough, hard surface.

Polishing the Surface:

Following the baking, the surface is sanded and polished with specialist compounds to give a smooth glass like finish. A final Teflon based polish is then applied. This helps make the new enamel easy to clean and also prevents lime scale build up.

Workshop Enamelling:

If the bath is being removed from your property and can be delivered to our workshop, we are able to Bath Shield enamel the inside of the bath and sand, prime and undercoat the outside. If you would like the feet nickel-plated or the taps refurbished, we are also able to provide this service.
