Specialist Bath Resurfacing & Enamel Restoration Across Kingston, London
Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames are dedicated bath repair and resurfacing specialists covering the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and neighbouring parts of southwest London. Our skilled technicians restore damaged baths of every type — from hairline surface scratches on modern acrylic tubs to deep enamel erosion on original cast iron fixtures — offering a practical, cost-saving alternative to ripping out and replacing your bathroom suite.
Every job starts with a careful inspection of the damage and the bath material. A chip on a pressed steel bath calls for a fundamentally different approach to a stress crack in an acrylic unit or corrosion beneath the enamel of a cast iron tub. We work with acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass surfaces, and Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames match the correct technique to every situation we encounter.
The reason our repairs outlast those of most competitors in the Kingston upon Thames area comes down to preparation and bonding. We apply two separate bonding agents — each heat-cured independently with a hot air gun — before the final enamel coat goes on. This two-stage adhesion method locks the new surface to the old with significantly greater strength than a single-primer system, producing a finish that holds up to daily use for years rather than peeling or discolouring within months.
Beyond baths, we also repair sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. Any hard surface that has suffered chips, cracks, scratches, or general wear is likely something Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames can bring back to life without the expense of a complete replacement.

We blend professional-grade pigments to reproduce the precise shade of your current bath surface. Repairs integrate invisibly into the surrounding area — even on older baths where the original white has shifted to cream or ivory through decades of use.
Individual chip repairs and minor restorations are typically finished within a single appointment. A full bath resurfacing runs four to six hours on site, and the surface is ready for careful use within twenty-four hours — keeping disruption to your household at a minimum.
Our dual bonding agent process combined with infrared curing delivers a hard-wearing, factory-grade surface that stands up to everyday use. Chipping, peeling, and staining resistance are built into every job. A written guarantee accompanies each repair we complete.
Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames technicians hold specialist training across enamel, acrylic, pressed steel, stone resin, shower tray, basin, worktop, and uPVC refinishing. Full public liability insurance covers every appointment we attend.
The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames contains a remarkably varied property landscape. Grand Victorian and Edwardian villas line the slopes of Kingston Hill and Coombe, many featuring original cast iron baths with period enamel finishes that are irreplaceable at any realistic cost. The 1930s semi-detached houses throughout Norbiton and New Malden typically have pressed steel baths — workhorses that develop enamel fatigue, surface chips, and stubborn limescale staining after decades of daily use.
The riverside apartments and modern developments around Kingston town centre and Hampton Wick lean towards acrylic baths and moulded shower trays, which bring their own set of problems: hairline stress fractures along the base, impact cracks from dropped items, and scuff marks that accumulate rapidly in high-use households. Surbiton's mix of Victorian terraces and converted period houses adds another dimension — original baths sitting alongside modern replacements, each needing a different repair strategy.
Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames have spent years working across this entire spectrum. We assess each surface individually and select the repair method that delivers the strongest, longest-lasting result for that specific material and condition. That targeted approach is the difference between a professional restoration and a temporary patch.
Genuine examples of restoration work carried out by Bath Fixer across the Kingston upon Thames borough
The owner of a detached Edwardian property on Kingston Hill contacted Bath Fixer about an original cast iron roll-top bath that had developed extensive enamel crazing across the interior surface. Decades of hard water exposure had left a web of fine cracks through the glaze, with brownish discolouration settling into each line. A bathroom fitter had already quoted over £3,400 to disconnect the plumbing, remove the heavy cast iron tub through a narrow doorway, and install a modern acrylic replacement — which the homeowner considered a significant downgrade.
Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames stripped the degraded enamel layer, treated areas of surface-level corrosion with a specialist inhibitor, and rebuilt the profile with a high-adhesion compound. After thorough degreasing and keying, our dual bonding agents were applied and heat-cured before a bright white enamel was sprayed and finished under infrared to achieve a smooth, even surface across the entire interior.
The bath was restored to a uniform, glossy white finish — completely free of the crazing and staining that had marred it. The homeowner preserved an irreplaceable period fixture, avoided a major building project, and saved well over £2,500 compared to the replacement quote. The work was completed in a single day with a written guarantee.
A landlord managing a portfolio of rental flats near Surbiton station needed a rapid turnaround on a damaged acrylic bath between tenancies. The outgoing tenant had left a deep crack along the bath rim and extensive surface scratching across the base. The letting agency required the bathroom to be presentable within five working days for a pre-agreed move-in date, ruling out the two-week lead time that a plumber had quoted for a full bath swap.
We reinforced the structural crack from the underside to prevent further spreading, then filled and levelled the damaged rim section. The scratched base was sanded back to a smooth foundation, colour-matched acrylic coating was applied across the affected areas, and a protective topcoat sealed the entire surface. Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames completed the work on day three of the landlord's five-day window.
The bath was ready for the incoming tenant with two days to spare. No sign of the crack or scratching remained, and the landlord avoided the cost and complexity of a full replacement. A written guarantee was provided, and the letting agency has since instructed Bath Fixer for bath repairs across several other properties in the Kingston upon Thames area.
A clear breakdown of how Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames bring your bath back to factory-fresh condition
We lay dust sheets over flooring, WC, basin, and radiators. Existing sealant is stripped away and the work area is fully protected before any repair begins.
Professional cleaning agents strip away all residue and build-up. We then address every defect — chips, cracks, abrasions, limescale deposits, and surface erosion — before moving to the bonding stage.
Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist coverings. An industrial-strength degreaser removes any remaining contaminants so the bonding agents achieve maximum adhesion.
The first bonding agent is applied and heat-cured, followed by a second primer layer. This two-stage system — exclusive to Bath Fixer — creates an exceptionally strong bond between the new coating and the original surface beneath.
Colour-matched enamel is professionally sprayed across the prepared surface. Our infrared low-bake system cures the coating rapidly, accelerating the bonding process and producing a smooth, resilient factory-grade finish.
The cured surface is polished to a high-gloss finish, all masking is carefully removed, and a waterproof sealant is applied around every edge. We inspect the completed repair thoroughly before handing back.

"Ilia resurfaced an old acrylic bath in our rental property in Surbiton. The tenant had cracked the side panel and scratched the base badly. Repair was done in one afternoon and looks brand new. Excellent workmanship and great communication throughout."

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames
Resurfacing your existing bath typically costs forty to sixty per cent less than a full replacement. Many Kingston upon Thames properties contain high-quality original baths — particularly the cast iron models found in Victorian and Edwardian homes around Kingston Hill and the town centre. These are far superior to modern budget replacements. Resurfacing restores the original to pristine condition without the upheaval of disconnecting plumbing, removing tiles, and disposing of the old unit.
Yes. Our coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic wall tiles. We can refinish an entire bathroom suite to a uniform colour of your choosing. The one exception is the toilet — regular cleaning with abrasive products and brushes gradually breaks down any refinished surface, so we recommend replacing the toilet rather than coating it.
If the rest of the bath surface is in good condition, a localised chip repair makes perfect sense. We carry out individual chip and scratch repairs across Kingston upon Thames on a daily basis. Fallen showerheads, dropped bottles, and heavy objects striking the rim are the leading causes of impact damage in the area. Our precision colour-matching ensures the repaired spot disappears into the surrounding surface.
A complete resurfacing visit runs between four and six hours depending on the extent of preparation work needed. That time covers masking, surface cleaning, chip and crack filling, dual bonding agent application, enamel spraying, infrared curing, polishing, and resealing. You can use the bath lightly after twenty-four hours. Full cure is reached at forty-eight hours.
The majority of our callouts in Kingston upon Thames involve rectifying botched DIY attempts. High-street repair kits contain consumer-grade fillers and paints that lack the adhesion, hardness, and colour stability of professional coatings. The typical outcome is a visible patch that yellows, roughens, or lifts within weeks. A professional Bath Fixer repair costs more upfront but delivers a result that holds up for years under normal use.
We cover the entire Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. That includes Kingston town centre, Surbiton, New Malden, Norbiton, Coombe, Hampton Wick, Kingston Vale, and Chessington. We also regularly attend properties in neighbouring areas such as Richmond, Wimbledon, Merton, Putney, and Sutton.
