About Bath Fixer Dagenham

Bath Fixer Dagenham provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Dagenham and the wider East London area. Our experienced technicians handle every type of bath surface damage — from minor enamel chips on ageing pressed steel tubs to complete resurfacing of cast iron baths that have deteriorated over decades of daily use. We offer a proven, cost-effective alternative to full bath replacement that keeps disruption to a minimum and money in your pocket.

Dagenham's housing stock is dominated by the Becontree Estate and surrounding developments built primarily between the 1920s and 1960s. Many of these properties still contain their original pressed steel baths, which — while structurally robust — show the effects of seventy to a hundred years of wear. Enamel thinning, surface chips from dropped items, rust patches where moisture has penetrated, and widespread dulling from decades of abrasive cleaning are the issues we encounter most frequently in the area.

What distinguishes Bath Fixer from other repair firms working across East London is our two-stage bonding system. Most competitors apply a single primer coat before spraying the enamel finish. We apply two separate bonding agents, each cured with a hot air gun, to build an exceptionally strong adhesion layer between the original surface and the new coating. This dual approach produces a finish that holds up significantly longer under daily use — resisting chips, peeling, and discolouration well beyond what a single-primer method can achieve.

Beyond baths, Bath Fixer Dagenham also repair sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tile surfaces, uPVC window frames and doors, granite worktops, and solid surface counters. If a hard surface in your home has been chipped, cracked, scratched, or worn down — contact us before committing to a costly replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same bathroom repair challenges found in Dagenham are common throughout the neighbouring boroughs. Homeowners and landlords in Barking and Havering face similar issues with ageing baths, worn enamel, and impact damage. See our area-specific guides for more details.

Completed in a Single Visit

Most chip repairs and minor restorations are finished within one appointment. A full bath resurfacing typically takes four to six hours, with the bath ready for light use the following day. No multi-day disruption to your household.

Durable Finish Guaranteed

Our dual bonding agent system combined with infrared curing produces a hard-wearing finish that resists chipping, peeling, and staining under everyday use. Every job we complete carries a written guarantee for your peace of mind.

Trained Surface Specialists

Bath Fixer Dagenham technicians are trained across all bath materials — enamel, acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass. We also repair shower trays, sinks, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. Fully insured for every appointment.

Why Dagenham Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Dagenham's residential landscape is shaped by the Becontree Estate — one of the largest municipal housing developments ever built — along with neighbouring streets of semi-detached and terraced homes constructed during the same interwar period. The bathrooms in these properties were typically fitted with pressed steel baths that have now seen between seventy and ninety years of daily use. While the baths themselves are often still structurally sound, the enamel surfaces tell a different story: thinned coatings, rust patches breaking through, clusters of chips around the tap end, and a general dullness that no amount of cleaning can restore.

More recent developments across Dagenham East, Beam Park, and the regeneration areas along the A13 corridor have introduced acrylic baths that present their own set of problems. Impact cracks, stress fractures at weight-bearing points, and surface scratches are the most common issues we encounter in these newer properties. Rental turnover is high in parts of Dagenham, and landlords regularly contact Bath Fixer for fast, reliable repairs between tenancies.

Bath Fixer Dagenham have developed our service specifically around the property types and materials found in this part of East London. We do not apply a generic approach — every repair is tailored to the age, material, and condition of the surface we are working on. That practical understanding is what produces results that last.

Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Dagenham and East London area

Pressed Steel Bath Restoration — Becontree Avenue

Dagenham, RM8
The Challenge

A homeowner on the Becontree Estate had lived with a deteriorating pressed steel bath for over a decade. The enamel had thinned across the entire base, with bare metal visible along the centre where foot traffic and standing water had accelerated the wear. Several deep chips along the side wall — caused by a falling tile during a previous renovation attempt — had exposed the steel beneath and allowed rust to spread outward. A bathroom fitter had quoted over £2,400 for removal, tiling repair, new plumbing connections, and a replacement bath.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Dagenham treated every corroded area with a specialist rust converter to halt further degradation. The deep chips and worn sections were rebuilt using high-adhesion filler to restore the original surface profile. After thorough degreasing and surface preparation, our dual bonding agents were applied and cured, followed by two coats of colour-matched enamel spray finished under infrared curing. A full reseal completed the job.

The Result

The bath was transformed to a smooth, gleaming white finish with no trace of the corrosion or chip damage. The homeowner saved over £1,900 compared to the replacement quote and avoided the upheaval of a multi-day bathroom refit. The entire repair was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Rental Property Bath Turnaround — Dagenham East

Dagenham, RM10
The Challenge

A landlord managing a buy-to-let flat near Dagenham East station needed the bathroom ready for a new tenant within five days. The outgoing tenancy had left the acrylic bath with a deep crack running along the base, multiple surface scratches, and heavy limescale staining around the overflow and drain. Replacing the bath was not feasible within the timeline, and the landlord needed a professional finish that would satisfy the incoming tenant's expectations and the letting agent's inspection standards.

Our Solution

We stabilised the base crack with a structural compound to prevent further spread, then filled and sanded the damaged area flush with the surrounding surface. The entire bath was deep-cleaned to strip the limescale deposits, prepared with our dual bonding agents, and fully resurfaced with a colour-matched acrylic coating cured under infrared heat. New sealant was applied around the perimeter.

The Result

The repair was completed in a single day, leaving the landlord three clear days before the new tenancy began. The bath surface was smooth, bright, and free of any visible damage. The letting agent confirmed the finish met their inspection criteria. Total cost was less than a third of the replacement estimate, with a written guarantee covering the work.

How We Restore Your Bath

The step-by-step process Bath Fixer Dagenham follow to return your bath to factory-quality condition

1
Room Protection

Dust sheets are laid across the bathroom floor, WC, basin, radiator, and any other exposed fixtures. Existing sealant is stripped from around the bath and the working area is thoroughly covered before any repair begins.

2
Surface Cleaning & Damage Repair

Professional cleaning agents remove every trace of residue, grease, and mineral build-up. Chips, cracks, rust spots, and areas of erosion are repaired individually — structural issues are addressed before any coating is applied.

3
Precision Masking

Tiles, walls, taps, drain fittings, and the overflow are carefully masked with specialist materials. A professional-grade degreaser is applied as a final step to ensure the surface is completely free of contaminants.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

The first bonding agent is applied, then a second primer is laid down using high-temperature curing. This two-stage process — exclusive to Bath Fixer — creates an ultra-strong bond between the original surface and the new enamel layer.

5
Enamel Coating & Infrared Curing

The new enamel surface is sprayed using professional equipment and immediately cured with our infrared low-bake system. This process accelerates molecular bonding and produces a dense, smooth, factory-grade finish.

6
Final Polish & Seal

The surface is polished to a high gloss, all masking is removed, and a waterproof sealant is applied around the perimeter to ensure a watertight, lasting finish. A final inspection is carried out before sign-off.

What Our Dagenham Clients Say

Feedback from homeowners and landlords who have used Bath Fixer in East London

Karen P.
Becontree — 03/02/2025

"Had a pressed steel bath in our Becontree house that was covered in rust patches and chips. The technician stripped back the damage, treated the corrosion, and resurfaced the whole thing. It looks factory fresh now. Saved us a fortune compared to ripping it out. Very professional service from start to finish."

James T.
Dagenham East — 19/11/2024

"Needed a fast turnaround on a tenant changeover in Dagenham East. Bath Fixer came out within three days, repaired multiple chips, and resurfaced the bath in one visit. The letting agent was very impressed with the finish. Would absolutely use again for our other rental properties."

Linda M.
Rush Green — 14/08/2024

"Our old cast iron bath in Rush Green had been deteriorating for years — rust showing through, chips around the taps, the whole surface looking tired. Ilia arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and did a brilliant job. The colour match is perfect and the surface feels completely smooth. Highly recommend Bath Fixer."

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Dagenham

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Dagenham

Professional resurfacing restores the original bath surface at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. Most Dagenham properties have pressed steel or cast iron baths that are structurally sound but cosmetically worn. Resurfacing preserves these durable fixtures, avoids the need for plumbing disconnection, tile removal, and skip hire, and can be completed in a single day with the bath ready for use within twenty-four hours.

Yes. We carry out individual chip and scratch repairs on a daily basis. Dropped bottles, heavy shower fittings, and cleaning product containers are the most frequent causes of impact damage we see across Dagenham. Each repair is colour-matched to the existing surface and blended so the repaired area is virtually invisible.

Bath Fixer repair and resurface all common bath materials including pressed steel enamel, cast iron, acrylic, fibreglass, stone resin, and ceramic. We also repair shower trays, basins, sinks, ceramic tiles, granite worktops, and uPVC surfaces. Whatever the material, our technicians have the training and specialist coatings to restore it.

A complete bath resurfacing typically takes between four and six hours on site. This covers full surface preparation, damage repair, dual bonding agent application, enamel spray coating, infrared curing, and polishing. The bath can be used lightly after twenty-four hours and is fully cured within forty-eight hours.

The majority of the failed repairs we are called out to fix in Dagenham started with a DIY kit. These products use consumer-grade materials that lack the adhesion and durability of professional coatings. They typically produce a visible patch, an uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and peels within a few months. A professional repair from Bath Fixer Dagenham costs more upfront but delivers a result that lasts years rather than weeks.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Dagenham and the surrounding East London area. Our regular service areas include Dagenham, Becontree, Rush Green, Dagenham East, Barking, Newham, Redbridge, and Havering. We also attend properties in neighbouring boroughs across the wider East London region.
