The resurfacing services we offer
Resurfacing is when a new surface is applied to a substrate or an old surface. It restores and brings life back to various items and areas of buildings that need a new lease of life on fatigued surfaces:
- Radiators
- Garage doors
- Roll shutters
- Shopfronts
- Window frames
- Doors (Including fire doors)
- Powder-coated aluminium architecture including cladding, curtain walling steel and frontages
- Bathtubs
- Kitchen cabinets & worktops
Why choose resurfacing?
Whether the surface has been damaged by staining, burning, vandalism or accidental damage, resurfacing can make any surface or item look good as new without needing to spend more money on a replacement.
At Merlin Repairs, our full resurfacing solution uses the latest products and techniques to restore items back to their original condition or where requested, to create bespoke items through the choice of finish.
Resurfacing vs Replacement
Time – Time is an essential factor that needs to be considered. Replacement items will take a longer time to be received, whilst resurfacing, on the other hand, is carried out and completed on the same day or within a significantly shorter time frame.
Cost-efficient – Whether it’s a new door, window ledge or roller shutter, the cost of replacement can be expensive, which is why resurfacing, and repairing is the first option for many. As well as the cost of the product/item itself, there is also a cost of the installation, which needs to be considered when opting for replacement. This is because specialists and specialist equipment could be required.
Environmentally friendly – In terms of the environmental impact, it’s lower when repairing compared to replacing. Choosing to repair your door or shutter can be less detrimental to the environment, as it requires fewer resources, therefore reducing carbon emissions.
What can we resurface
We can bring new life to various different surfaces, whether at your home or business. Here are some of the surfaces that we can restore:
Radiators
The coating on radiators can begin peeling and rusting over time. During the resurfacing process, the surface coatings are stripped back to bring the radiator back to its original form of iron, where the restoration can then occur.
Freshening up the coat on your radiator can instantly improve the look of the room it resides in.
Shop fronts
The shop front is the first thing that the customer sees when entering the premises, which is why it is essential to keep on top of the overall appearance of the building. Weather can cause natural defects to the exterior of buildings, and resurfacing can create a fresh and revived look for your shop front.
The shop front is cleaned before the resurfacing process takes place.
Roller shutters
Over time, roller shutters can become damaged, weathered, vandalised, and discoloured. We can repair any dents and remove any scratches or scuffs and retain the existing structure without the added cost of replacing the shutters.
Doors
Doors can say a lot about the exterior of your building, but after a while can become discoloured and weathered, similar to roller shutters. While it may be tempting to buy a new replacement door, resurfacing can bring it back to its original glory.
Garage doors
Whether metal, composite, or wood, we can resurface any garage door to restore it to a new and better condition without having to replace it.
The door is thoroughly cleaned with its surrounding structure, which removes all flaky paint or debris, so it can then be stripped back to the original metal.
An appropriate primer is applied to the metal so it can be repainted and restored.
Window frames
Whether wooden or plastic, we can repair and resurface your window frames. Hail damage, heavy winds and extreme heat are just some of the things that are thrown at your windows.
If your window frame has cracked, broken or damaged, we can repair, fix and colour correct the frame to bring it back to its original form.
Bathtubs
Acrylic bathtubs over time start to discolour, chip and scratch. A replacement bath can cost you more money, creates a lot of mess and puts the bathroom on hold for several days for installation. Our resurfacing solution uses the latest products to restore sanitary ware back to its original condition.
Kitchen cabinets
Remodelling your kitchen can be expensive, but resurfacing kitchen cabinets can give the space the fresh look it needs without the additional costs.
This is a great choice if your kitchen cabinets are slightly damaged, scratched or stained. The damages can be removed, and the face of the cabinet doors can be resurfaced by covering with matching wood or plastic veneer.
Kitchen worktops
Resurfacing your kitchen worktops can be a great alternative to replacement. Worktops are used nearly every day and can sustain general wear and tear, and over time, they become outdated.
With kitchen resurfacing, we can give your surface a new look at a fraction of the replacement cost.
