About Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames

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.

Nearby Areas We Serve: Homeowners across the wider southwest London area share many of the same bath repair challenges we see regularly in Kingston upon Thames. Residents in Richmond and Sutton often contact us with comparable enamel deterioration and impact damage on similar-era properties.

Why Kingston upon Thames Homeowners Trust Bath Fixer

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.

Recent Bath Repairs in Kingston upon Thames

Genuine examples of restoration work carried out by Bath Fixer across the Kingston upon Thames borough

Edwardian Cast Iron Bath — Kingston Hill

Kingston upon Thames, KT2
The Challenge

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.

Our Solution

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 Result

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.

Rental Property Acrylic Bath — Surbiton

Surbiton, KT6
The Challenge

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.

Our Solution

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 Result

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.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

A clear breakdown of how Bath Fixer Kingston upon Thames bring your bath back to factory-fresh condition

1
Protection & Preparation

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.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

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.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

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.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

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.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

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.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Check

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.

Rachel M.
Kingston Hill — 10/03/2025

James K.
Surbiton — 18/11/2024

Linda P.
Norbiton — 05/08/2024

"Called Bath Fixer about rust stains coming through our enamel bath in Norbiton. Alex came out within days, treated the corrosion and resurfaced the whole thing. Spotless result and saved us a fortune compared to ripping it out. Would absolutely use again."

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Kingston upon Thames

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.

Areas We Cover in & Around Kingston upon Thames

Bath Fixer deliver professional bath repair and resurfacing across Kingston upon Thames and the wider southwest London area

Kingston Town Centre & Norbiton

The streets around Kingston's historic market place and extending into Norbiton contain a broad mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and purpose-built flats from the 1960s onwards. Bath repairs here range from enamel restoration on cast iron originals to crack repair on modern acrylic units in converted properties.

Book in Kingston
Surbiton

Surbiton's Victorian and Edwardian housing stock — particularly along the conservation area streets — frequently features original pressed steel and cast iron baths that benefit from professional resurfacing rather than replacement. The newer apartment developments near the station tend towards acrylic baths with typical impact and wear damage.

Book in Surbiton
New Malden

The 1930s semi-detached homes that characterise much of New Malden commonly have pressed steel baths showing signs of enamel thinning, surface chips, and limescale staining accumulated over decades. Bath Fixer restore these fixtures to full condition as a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Book in New Malden
Kingston Hill & Coombe

The larger detached properties on Kingston Hill and throughout Coombe often contain premium cast iron baths — including freestanding roll-tops and period claw-foot models. Enamel crazing, hard water damage, and general ageing are the primary concerns. Resurfacing preserves these valuable fixtures at a fraction of the replacement cost.

Book in Coombe

Hampton Wick's riverside homes and Chessington's suburban estates represent opposite ends of the property spectrum, yet both generate regular bath repair requests.
