About Bath Fixer Lewisham

Bath Fixer Lewisham provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout Lewisham and the wider South East London area. Our experienced technicians handle everything from minor surface chips on acrylic baths to complete enamel restoration on original cast iron tubs – offering a practical, cost-effective alternative to full bath replacement that saves both money and disruption for homeowners across SE13.

Every job starts with a detailed assessment of the damage and the bath material. Whether you are dealing with a single chip from a dropped bottle, widespread enamel deterioration on a bath that has seen decades of daily use, or stress cracks developing along the base of an acrylic tub, we select the repair method best suited to the specific surface and condition. Bath Fixer Lewisham work across acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass – each requiring a distinct approach to achieve a lasting result.

The key difference between Bath Fixer and other bathroom repair firms working in Lewisham is our two-stage bonding process. 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 create a far stronger bond between the new coating and the original surface. That additional adhesion is what makes the difference between a repair that holds for years and one that lifts within months.

Beyond baths, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tile surfaces, uPVC frames, granite worktops, and solid surface units. If a hard surface in your Lewisham property has been chipped, cracked, scratched, or worn down over time – there is a very good chance Bath Fixer can restore it to a like-new condition without the expense of replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same kinds of bathroom repair challenges we address in Lewisham are found across the surrounding boroughs. Property owners in Greenwich and Peckham face very similar issues with ageing bath surfaces, impact damage, and deteriorating enamel. See our area-specific guides for detailed information about your location.

Durable Finish Guaranteed

Our dual bonding system and infrared curing process produce a hard-wearing, factory-quality surface that resists chipping, peeling, and discolouration. Every job carries a written guarantee – a finish built to last years rather than months.

Bath Fixer Lewisham technicians are fully trained in advanced refinishing techniques across enamel, acrylic, pressed steel, stone resin, shower trays, sinks, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. Full public liability insurance covers every appointment.

Why Lewisham Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Lewisham’s residential landscape reflects over a century of South East London development. The borough’s Victorian terraces – concentrated around Ladywell, Brockley, and Hither Green – date predominantly from the 1880s and 1890s, built rapidly to serve workers travelling into the City via the expanding railway network. Edwardian semi-detached houses followed along the quieter streets of Lee and Blackheath borders, while the mid-twentieth century brought waves of council housing and post-war rebuilding in Catford, Downham, and Bellingham.

Each generation of housing brought different bathroom fixtures. The older Victorian and Edwardian properties across Lewisham frequently still contain original cast iron baths with enamel surfaces that have become dull, stained, or chipped after more than a hundred years of continuous use. The pressed steel baths installed in inter-war and post-war council properties are prone to corrosion where the enamel has worn thin, particularly around the waterline and near the plug hole. Modern acrylic baths fitted during bathroom upgrades in the 1990s and 2000s are susceptible to impact damage, scratches, and stress fractures where weight concentrates at the edges.

Bath Fixer Lewisham have developed our approach around these specific challenges. We assess every bath individually rather than applying a blanket method. That attention to material and condition is what separates a repair that endures from one that begins to deteriorate within weeks.

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

Victorian Cast Iron Bath – Brockley Road

Lewisham, SE4
The Challenge

A couple renovating a three-bedroom Victorian terrace on Brockley Road wanted to preserve the original cast iron roll-top bath rather than replace it with a modern acrylic alternative. The enamel had worn away entirely along the base, exposing bare iron that had corroded badly. Deep rust pitting extended several inches up the sides, and a network of crazing across the remaining enamel made the surface impossible to keep clean. Two bathroom fitters had already advised ripping the bath out, quoting over £3,000 for removal, disposal, plumbing modifications, and a new bath.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Lewisham stripped the corroded areas back to clean metal using specialist grinding tools, then applied a marine-grade rust inhibitor to neutralise the remaining oxidation. The pitted sections were rebuilt with high-adhesion filler and sanded to match the original contour. The entire bath surface was keyed, degreased, and treated with our dual bonding agent system before two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and infrared cured on site.

The Result

The original cast iron bath was restored to a gleaming, smooth finish with no visible trace of the corrosion or crazing. The homeowners preserved a period feature that adds genuine character and value to their property, saving over £2,400 compared to the replacement quotes. The entire restoration was completed in a single day with a written guarantee.

Rental Property Acrylic Bath – Catford

Lewisham, SE6
The Challenge

A landlord managing a buy-to-let flat in Catford needed urgent bath repairs between tenancies. The outgoing tenants had left the acrylic bath with a jagged gouge near the overflow, multiple chips along the rim, and a large area of surface scratching across the base. The incoming tenancy was scheduled to begin in five days. A full bath replacement would have required plumbing work, tile removal, and a minimum week-long turnaround – pushing the start date back and costing several hundred pounds in lost rent.

Our Solution

We attended within forty-eight hours of the enquiry. The gouge was filled with a structural compound and sanded flush, the rim chips were individually repaired, and the scratched base was abraded and refinished. A colour-matched acrylic topcoat was sprayed and cured on site to restore the entire bath surface to a uniform, smooth finish.

The Result

The repair was completed in under five hours. The landlord met the tenancy start date without delay, the bath looked indistinguishable from new, and the total cost was a fraction of what a replacement would have run. A written guarantee covered the work for the landlord’s records.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

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

1
Protection & Preparation

Dust sheets are laid across the flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and all major fixtures. Existing sealant is stripped away and the entire work area is shielded before any repair begins.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

Industrial-strength cleaning agents remove all residue and contaminants. Every chip, crack, abrasion, and area of erosion is then repaired. Structural issues are addressed at this stage to ensure a sound base.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist materials. A professional-grade degreasing agent is applied to ensure the surface is completely free of oils, soap film, and residue.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

The first bonding agent is applied, followed by a second primer using high-temperature curing. This two-stage process – unique to Bath Fixer – creates an exceptionally strong adhesion between the new coating and the original surface.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

The new enamel surface is professionally sprayed and hardened using our infrared low-bake curing system. This accelerates the bonding process and produces a smooth, resilient factory-quality finish.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Check

The surface is polished to a high sheen, all masking is removed, and a protective waterproof sealant is applied around the perimeter. The finished bath is thoroughly inspected before sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bath Repair Lewisham

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Lewisham

Refinishing your existing bath typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than replacing it outright. For Lewisham properties with original cast iron or pressed steel baths, a replacement also involves disconnecting plumbing, removing tiles, disposing of the old bath, and making good the surrounding walls and floor. Refinishing avoids all of that disruption while restoring the surface to an as-new condition.

Yes. Our professional coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish an entire bathroom suite in a colour of your choice. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than refinishing is the toilet, as the harsh cleaning products and abrasive brushes used for regular toilet maintenance will gradually wear through the refinished coating.

Absolutely. We carry out individual chip, scratch, and localised damage repairs on otherwise sound bath surfaces every day. Dropped bottles, showerheads, tile edges, and heavy metal drain stoppers are the most frequent causes of impact damage we see in Lewisham homes. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired section blends invisibly with the existing finish.

A typical bath resurfacing appointment requires between four and six hours on site. This covers full surface preparation, repair of any chips or cracks, application of our two bonding agents, the enamel spray coat, infrared curing, and a final polish. You can use the bath lightly after twenty-four hours, and the surface reaches full cure within forty-eight hours.

The majority of our call-outs involving DIY kits are to correct failed attempts rather than to supplement them. The materials sold in hardware stores are consumer-grade and lack the adhesion, durability, and colour accuracy of professional coatings. They frequently produce visible patches, uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and peels within a few months. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Lewisham costs more upfront but delivers a result that lasts for years.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Lewisham and the surrounding South East London boroughs. Our regular service areas include Lewisham, Catford, Hither Green, Brockley, Lee, Blackheath, Deptford, New Cross, and Forest Hill. We also attend properties across Greenwich, Southwark, Peckham, and Croydon.
