Specialist Bath Resurfacing & Enamel Restoration Across the Surrey Hills
Dorking sits in one of the most architecturally varied corners of Surrey. The town centre holds a concentration of Victorian and Edwardian cottages and townhouses — many with original bathroom fittings that are well over a century old. Move outward into the surrounding villages and you encounter everything from Georgian farmhouses to interwar semis and modern executive homes built within the last two decades. Bath Fixer Dorking specialise in repairing and restoring every type of bath surface found across this housing mix.
Our technicians handle cast iron roll-top baths with worn enamel, pressed steel panel baths with chipped surfaces, acrylic tubs cracked by impact damage, and stone resin baths showing signs of age. Rather than recommending a costly replacement — which in a period property often means tiling damage, plumbing disruption, and days without a functioning bathroom — we restore the existing surface to a condition that looks and performs like new.
Bath Fixer Dorking use a two-stage bonding process that most repair firms do not offer. We apply two separate bonding agents, each cured with targeted heat, before the final enamel coat goes on. This creates a bond between old surface and new that resists peeling, chipping, and discolouration far longer than single-primer systems. It is the technical difference that underpins every guarantee we issue.
Beyond baths, we repair basins, shower trays, ceramic tile surfaces, granite worktops, uPVC frames, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Dorking property is damaged, stained, or worn — the chances are strong that Bath Fixer can restore it without the expense and disruption of replacement.

Years of Local Experience
Period properties across Dorking often feature baths with aged enamel that has shifted from its original white to a warmer cream or ivory tone over decades. Our technicians blend colour on site to match the existing surface precisely, so repairs disappear into the surrounding finish without a visible edge.
Chip repairs take as little as two hours. A full bath resurface is typically finished within four to six hours on site, with the bath ready for light use inside twenty-four hours. One appointment, one day, and your bathroom is back in service.
Two bonding agents applied in sequence and cured with infrared heat create an exceptionally resilient new surface. The result resists chipping, peeling, and staining under normal household use. Every Bath Fixer Dorking repair is backed by a written guarantee.
Bath Fixer Dorking technicians are trained across every common bath material — enamel, acrylic, pressed steel, stone resin, and fibreglass — as well as shower trays, sinks, ceramic tiles, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. Fully insured for every job we attend.
Dorking's character comes from the sheer variety of its housing. The streets nearest the High Street and St Martin's Walk hold tightly packed Victorian and Edwardian terraces and cottages, many built with small bathrooms that still contain their original cast iron baths. These baths were built to last generations, but over a century or more the enamel develops hairline crazing, chips accumulate around the taps and waste, and rust bleeds through where moisture has found a way in.
Further out — through North and South Holmwood, Westcott, and into the lanes around Brockham and Betchworth — the housing shifts to larger detached properties from the 1920s and 1930s alongside more recent builds. Here the typical bathroom contains pressed steel panel baths or modern acrylic tubs. The pressed steel baths chip easily where the enamel has become brittle, and acrylics are prone to impact cracks and surface scratches that worsen over time if left unrepaired.
Bath Fixer Dorking understand these local patterns because we work in these properties every week. We adjust our preparation, materials, and technique to the specific surface in front of us — not a one-size-fits-all approach, but a repair method matched to the age, material, and condition of each individual bath.
Feedback from homeowners and landlords who have used Bath Fixer across the Surrey Hills
"We have a Victorian roll-top bath that had developed several chips and a rust patch underneath the taps. Alex arrived on time, explained every step clearly, and the finish is remarkable — you genuinely cannot tell where the damage was. Excellent service from start to finish."
"Ilia repaired a cracked acrylic bath in our rental cottage near Westcott. He was professional, tidy, and finished well ahead of schedule. The tenant moved in two days later with no issues at all. Would absolutely use Bath Fixer again for any of our Surrey properties."
"Our 1930s pressed steel bath was in a sorry state — stained, chipped around the plug hole, and the enamel had gone rough in several places. Bath Fixer resurfaced the entire thing in one visit. It looks factory fresh. Brilliant job and very fairly priced."

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Dorking
Resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than a full replacement and avoids the upheaval that comes with ripping out an existing bath. In many Dorking period homes, the original cast iron or pressed steel bath is a higher-quality fixture than anything a modern replacement would offer. Our process restores the surface to a like-new condition while preserving the bath itself — no plumbing disconnection, no tile damage, and no skip hire required.
Yes — individual chip and scratch repairs are one of the most common jobs we carry out across Dorking and the surrounding villages. Dropped bottles, shower fittings, and heavy taps are the usual culprits. We colour-match the damaged area precisely to the existing surface so the repair is invisible once complete. There is no need for a full resurface unless the wider surface is also deteriorating.
Bath Fixer Dorking work on every common bath material — cast iron, pressed steel, acrylic, stone resin, and fibreglass. Each material requires a different preparation and bonding approach, and our technicians are trained to identify and treat each one correctly. We also repair shower trays, basins, ceramic tiles, and solid surface worktops.
The resurfacing appointment itself takes between four and six hours on site, including all preparation, repair, spraying, and curing stages. The bath is safe for light use after twenty-four hours and fully cured within forty-eight hours. We leave clear aftercare instructions so you know exactly when and how to start using the bath again.
In our experience, the answer is almost always no. The kits sold in hardware stores use consumer-grade fillers and coatings that lack the adhesion and durability of professional materials. The typical outcome is a visible patch that yellows, peels, or cracks within weeks. A significant proportion of our Dorking callouts involve correcting failed DIY repairs — which often end up costing more than a professional job would have in the first place.
We cover the whole of Dorking and the surrounding Surrey Hills area. Our regular service areas include Dorking town centre, North Holmwood, South Holmwood, Westcott, Brockham, Betchworth, Mickleham, and Box Hill. We also attend properties across the wider region including Leatherhead, Reigate, Epsom, Horsham, and Guildford.
