About Bath Fixer Hackney

Bath Fixer Hackney provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout Hackney and the wider East London area. Our trained technicians handle everything from minor chip repairs on modern acrylic tubs to full enamel restoration on period cast iron baths – offering a practical, cost-effective alternative to ripping out and replacing an entire bath.

Hackney's housing is wonderfully diverse, and that diversity creates a wide range of bathroom repair challenges. The Georgian and early Victorian terraces around De Beauvoir Town and Dalston often contain original cast iron roll-top baths with decades of enamel wear. The late Victorian and Edwardian properties scattered across Stoke Newington and Clapton typically have pressed steel baths showing rust spots and surface erosion. Meanwhile, the warehouse conversions and new-build apartments in Shoreditch and Hackney Wick feature contemporary acrylic and composite baths prone to impact cracks and scratching.

What sets Bath Fixer apart from other refinishing companies working in Hackney is our dual bonding agent process. Most competitors apply a single primer coat before spraying the enamel. We apply two bonding agents, each cured with a high-temperature heat gun, creating a significantly stronger adhesion between the new coating and the original bath surface. The result is a finish that withstands daily use without chipping, peeling, or yellowing.

Beyond baths, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC window frames, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Hackney home or rental property has suffered damage, there is every chance Bath Fixer can bring it back to life without the expense of a full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The bathroom repair needs we encounter in Hackney extend right across East London. Homeowners and landlords in Islington and Tower Hamlets face very similar challenges with ageing enamel, chipped surfaces, and worn-out bath finishes. See our area-specific guides for more information about your location.

Precision Colour Matching

Our technicians blend colours to match the exact shade of your existing bath surface. Even on older enamel that has yellowed or discoloured over the years, the repaired area integrates invisibly with the surrounding finish – no visible patches, no colour mismatch.

Completed in a Single Visit

Most chip repairs and minor restorations are finished within a couple of hours. A full bath resurfacing takes four to six hours on site, with the bath ready for use the following day. Your household routine stays largely uninterrupted.

Durable Factory-Grade Finish

Our dual bonding agent system paired with infrared curing technology produces a hard-wearing surface that resists chipping, peeling, and staining. Every bath repair Hackney job carries a written guarantee for your peace of mind.

Fully Trained Specialists

Bath Fixer Hackney technicians are fully trained in specialist refinishing across enamel baths, acrylic tubs, pressed steel, stone resin, shower trays, sinks, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. We carry full public liability insurance on every job we undertake.

Why Hackney Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Hackney's architectural character spans more than two centuries of building. The elegant Georgian terraces around De Beauvoir and the early Victorian rows of Dalston sit alongside Edwardian villas in Clapton, post-war council estates in Homerton, and the modern warehouse conversions that now define much of Hackney Wick and Shoreditch. Each building type brought different bathroom fixtures, different materials, and different vulnerabilities.

The cast iron roll-top baths found in Hackney's older Georgian and Victorian properties frequently show deep enamel wear, hairline crazing, and rust patches where moisture has worked through to the iron beneath. Pressed steel baths in the borough's inter-war and post-war housing suffer from surface chips where the enamel has grown brittle, limescale etching around the waterline, and dull patches caused by decades of abrasive cleaning. The acrylic baths fitted during more recent conversions and renovations are prone to impact cracks from dropped items, stress fractures along the edges, and surface scratches that trap dirt and discolour over time.

Bath Fixer Hackney understand these distinctions at a practical level. We assess the specific material, age, and condition of every bath before recommending a repair approach – never applying a generic method to a problem that demands a tailored solution. That material-specific expertise is what produces results that last.

Recent Bath Repairs in Hackney

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

Victorian Cast Iron Roll-Top – De Beauvoir Town

Hackney, E8
The Challenge

The owners of a beautifully restored Georgian terrace in De Beauvoir Town had retained their original cast iron roll-top bath as a centrepiece of the master bathroom. Over the years, the enamel had developed extensive crazing across the base, a cluster of deep chips near the plug hole where a ceramic soap dish had fallen in, and a persistent rust stain along one side where water pooled against a worn patch. A bathroom fitter had quoted over £3,400 to remove the bath, source a replacement of similar quality, and reinstate the surrounding tiling and plumbing.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Hackney began by treating the rust-affected area with a specialist converter to neutralise the corrosion and prevent it returning. The deep chips were built up layer by layer with a high-adhesion filler to match the original contour of the bath. The entire interior surface was then keyed, degreased, and prepared for our dual bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured using our infrared system, followed by a full polish and perimeter reseal.

The Result

The roll-top bath was returned to a pristine, glossy white finish with no visible trace of the previous damage. The owners preserved their original period feature, saved over £2,800 compared to a replacement, and avoided weeks of bathroom disruption. The work was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair – Hackney Wick Apartment

Hackney, E9
The Challenge

A landlord managing a converted warehouse apartment in Hackney Wick contacted us after a departing tenant reported a deep crack running along the rim of the acrylic bath, plus several chips on the internal surface caused by a dropped towel rail bracket. With a new tenancy starting in ten days, the landlord needed a fast, professional repair. The building's restricted access and shared service corridors made a full bath replacement logistically impractical and prohibitively expensive.

Our Solution

We stabilised the rim crack to prevent any further spread, then filled the damaged sections with a structural-grade acrylic compound. Each chip was built back to the original surface profile. The repaired areas were sanded smooth, colour-matched to the existing white finish, and sealed with a protective topcoat cured on site using our infrared system.

The Result

The repair was completed in under four hours. The landlord met the tenancy changeover deadline without delay, the bath showed no evidence of the previous damage, and the total cost was a fraction of what a replacement would have involved. A written guarantee covered the work from the day of completion.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

Step-by-step breakdown of how Bath Fixer Hackney restore your bath to factory-fresh condition

1
Protection & Preparation

We dust-sheet the flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and major fixtures. Old sealant is removed and the surrounding area is thoroughly protected before any work begins.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

Specialist cleaning agents remove all residue. We then repair every imperfection – chips, cracks, abrasions, mineral deposits, and erosion. Structural issues are addressed at this stage.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist covering materials. A professional-grade degreaser eliminates any remaining contaminants from the bath surface.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

We apply the first bonding agent, then reinforce with a second primer using high-temperature application. This two-stage process – unique to Bath Fixer – creates an ultra-durable bond with the original surface.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

The new enamel surface is professionally sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system. This accelerates bonding and produces a smooth, hard-wearing factory-quality finish.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Check

We polish the surface to perfection, remove all masking, and apply a protective waterproof sealant to ensure a watertight, secure finish. The bath is inspected before sign-off.

Dalston – 22/01/2025

"Absolutely brilliant work on our Victorian cast iron bath. The enamel had been chipping for years and we thought we'd need a full replacement. Alex came out, assessed everything carefully, and the result is stunning – it genuinely looks like a brand new bath. Cannot recommend Bath Fixer highly enough."

Marcus T.
Homerton – 14/11/2024

"Ilia repaired a nasty crack and several chips in our acrylic bath. He was on time, professional, and incredibly thorough with the preparation work. The colour match is spot on and you genuinely cannot see where the damage was. Excellent service from booking through to completion."

Frequently Asked Questions – Bath Repair Hackney

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Hackney

Resurfacing typically costs between forty and seventy per cent less than removing and replacing your bath. In Hackney's Victorian terraces and converted properties, replacement often involves lifting original floorboards, disturbing period tiling, and rerouting pipework through narrow spaces – turning a simple bathroom update into a costly renovation. Resurfacing preserves the original bath and avoids all of that disruption, delivering a factory-fresh finish in a single day.

Yes. Our professional coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surrounds. We can colour-match the full suite for a uniform finish. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than refinishing is the toilet – regular cleaning with abrasive products and brushes will gradually break down a refinished surface on a toilet bowl over time.

Absolutely. A single chip repair is one of our most common bookings across Hackney. Dropped shower fittings, heavy bottles, and loose tiles are the usual culprits. If the rest of the bath surface is in reasonable condition, a targeted repair is the most cost-effective option. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired spot blends invisibly with the surrounding enamel or acrylic.

A complete resurfacing appointment runs between four and six hours on site. That includes full surface preparation, damage repair, application of our dual bonding agents, the enamel spray coat, infrared curing, and a final polish. The bath can be used lightly after twenty-four hours and reaches full hardness within forty-eight hours.

The vast majority of DIY bath repair kits we encounter have already failed by the time we are called in. The consumer-grade materials in these kits lack the adhesion and durability of professional coatings. They tend to produce a visible patch that yellows and lifts within months. A professional repair from Bath Fixer Hackney costs more upfront but delivers a result that lasts for years, not weeks.

We cover all of Hackney and the surrounding East London boroughs. Our regular service area includes Hackney Central, Dalston, Stoke Newington, Clapton, Homerton, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, and De Beauvoir Town. We also attend properties across Islington, Tower Hamlets, Walthamstow, and Haringey.

Hackney Central & Dalston

Book in Hackney
Islington

Islington's elegant Georgian squares and Victorian terraces share many of the same bathroom challenges found in Hackney. Period cast iron baths, worn enamel on pressed steel tubs, and high-end freestanding baths in recently renovated townhouses all feature in our regular workload here.

Bath Repair Islington
Tower Hamlets

From the Edwardian terraces of Bow to the modern high-rise apartments along the canal in Limehouse and Mile End, Tower Hamlets presents a diverse mix of bath types. Acrylic repairs in new-builds and enamel restoration on older steel baths are equally common across the borough.

Bath Repair Tower Hamlets
Stoke Newington & Clapton

The leafy residential streets of Stoke Newington and Upper Clapton are dominated by late Victorian and Edwardian family homes. Many still contain their original pressed steel or cast iron baths – surfaces that respond beautifully to professional resurfacing when the enamel has dulled or chipped over the years.

Walthamstow and Leyton's mix of Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis, and growing number of new-build apartments means bath repair needs vary widely. From chipped enamel on ageing steel baths to cracked acrylic in modern developments, Bath Fixer handle it all.
