About Bath Fixer Caterham

Bath Fixer Caterham provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Caterham and the wider Tandridge district of Surrey. Whether you own a 1930s semi on the Hill with its original pressed steel bath still in place, or a modern apartment in the Valley with an acrylic tub that has picked up scratches and cracks, our trained technicians deliver lasting repairs at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Every job starts with a careful evaluation of the damage and the material involved. A chipped enamel surface on a cast iron bath demands a completely different repair approach to a stress fracture on a modern acrylic panel — and applying the wrong method is the reason so many DIY attempts and budget repair jobs fail within months. Bath Fixer Caterham bring the technical knowledge to get it right first time on any surface type: acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass.

The key difference with Bath Fixer lies in our two-stage bonding process. Rather than the single primer coat used by most competitors, we apply two bonding agents cured at high temperature to build an exceptionally strong adhesion layer between the original bath and the new enamel finish. This dual bond is what gives our resurfacing work its durability — producing a factory-grade surface that holds up to daily use for years, not months.

Beyond baths, we repair and resurface sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Caterham home has been chipped, cracked, scratched, or worn down, Bath Fixer can most likely restore it without the expense or upheaval of a full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same kinds of bath repair challenges we address in Caterham are widespread across the surrounding Surrey towns. Homeowners in Whyteleafe and Warlingham regularly contact us with identical issues — worn enamel on ageing steel baths, impact cracks in newer acrylic tubs, and discolouration from hard Surrey water. See our area-specific guides for detailed information about your location.

Expert Colour Matching

Caterham's older properties often have baths where the original white enamel has shifted to a warm cream or ivory over decades of use. Our technicians blend a precise tint match so the repaired area merges invisibly with the surrounding surface — no visible patches, no contrast lines.

Same-Day Service Available

Single chip repairs and minor restorations are completed in one visit, often within a couple of hours. Full bath resurfacing runs between four and six hours on site and the bath is ready for use the following day. Your household routine is barely interrupted.

Lasting Finish Guaranteed

Our dual bonding agent system paired with infrared curing delivers a factory-quality finish that stands up to chipping, peeling, and staining. Every bath repair by Bath Fixer Caterham is backed by a written guarantee — the result is a surface that performs like new for years.

Fully Trained Specialists

Bath Fixer Caterham technicians hold specialist qualifications in refinishing across enamel baths, acrylic tubs, pressed steel, stone resin, shower trays, sinks, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. We carry full public liability insurance for every appointment.

Why Caterham Homeowners Trust Bath Fixer

Caterham sits at the foot of the North Downs, split between the Valley and the Hill, and its housing reflects nearly a century of suburban development. The original Edwardian and 1920s homes that established the town were joined by extensive 1930s semi-detached and detached estates — many of which still line the roads climbing up towards Caterham on the Hill. Post-war development added further housing stock through the 1950s and 1960s, and more recent decades have brought new-build apartment complexes and infill developments, particularly around the Valley centre and station.

Each generation of building brought its own bathroom fixtures. The older pressed steel and enamel baths fitted in Caterham's inter-war and post-war homes are prone to surface erosion where decades of cleaning products have worn through the glaze, rust patches where moisture has reached the steel beneath, and chips from everyday impacts. In the newer properties, acrylic baths are vulnerable to scratches from cleaning, stress fractures from weight concentration around the edges, and impact cracks from dropped objects.

Bath Fixer Caterham understand these material-specific challenges because we work with them every day across the area. We do not apply a generic repair method regardless of the surface — we assess each bath individually and select the appropriate materials, primers, and techniques for the exact condition and composition in front of us. That diagnostic precision is what separates a repair that lasts from one that fails.

Pressed Steel Bath Restoration — Caterham on the Hill

Caterham, CR3
The Challenge

A retired couple in a 1930s detached property on one of the tree-lined roads above Caterham had been considering a bathroom refit after years of worsening bath deterioration. The original pressed steel bath had lost its glaze across most of the base, revealing grey steel underneath. Rust had begun to form around the plug hole and along the waterline, and a cluster of chips near the tap end — caused by a dropped glass jar — had been left unrepaired for over two years. A local plumber quoted £2,600 for removal, re-tiling, and replacement.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Caterham treated the corroded sections with a professional-grade rust inhibitor and stabiliser. The chips were filled and profiled to match the surrounding contour, and the entire surface was keyed and degreased in preparation for our dual bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured using our infrared system, followed by a hand polish and full perimeter reseal.

The Result

The bath was restored to a smooth, bright finish with no trace of the previous corrosion or chip damage. The couple saved over £2,000 compared to the replacement quote and avoided weeks of bathroom disruption. The work was completed in a single day with a written guarantee covering the finish.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair — Caterham Valley

Caterham, CR3
The Challenge

A landlord managing a rental apartment near Caterham station contacted us after a tenant reported a deep crack and surrounding hairline fractures in the acrylic bath. The damage appeared to have been caused by impact from a heavy object, and the landlord needed a rapid, professional repair to avoid delaying the next tenancy changeover. A full bath replacement would have required plumbing work, tile lifting, and at least three working days — an unacceptable timeline for the letting schedule.

Our Solution

We arrested the hairline fractures to prevent further spread, then filled the primary crack with a structural-grade acrylic compound. The repaired area was sanded level with the surrounding surface, colour-matched to the original white, 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 proceeded with the tenant changeover on schedule, and the repaired bath showed no visible trace of the original damage. The total cost was a fraction of the replacement estimate, with a written guarantee provided to the property owner.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

Step-by-step breakdown of how Bath Fixer Caterham 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.

What Our Caterham Clients Say

Feedback from homeowners and landlords who have used Bath Fixer in Surrey

Richard H.
Caterham on the Hill — 10/02/2025

"Excellent service from start to finish. Ilia arrived on time and was incredibly thorough with the preparation work. Our 1930s pressed steel bath had severe enamel wear along the base and several deep chips. The finished result is remarkable — you genuinely cannot tell it was ever damaged. Very impressed with Bath Fixer."

Karen M.
Caterham Valley — 18/11/2024

"We had two baths resurfaced in our Caterham home — one original 1950s steel bath and one modern acrylic in the ensuite. Alex handled both beautifully and the colour matching on the older bath was spot on. Clean, professional, and finished within the day. Highly recommend Bath Fixer."

James T.
Chaldon — 05/08/2024

"Called Bath Fixer after a tile fell onto our acrylic bath and left a deep gouge. Ilia came out within three days and repaired the damage perfectly. The repair is completely invisible and the whole process took less than four hours. Outstanding quality and great value compared to replacing the bath entirely."

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Caterham

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Caterham

Professional bath resurfacing typically costs between forty and seventy per cent less than a full bath replacement. When you factor in the plumbing disconnection, tiling repairs, waste removal, and fitting labour that a replacement demands, the savings are substantial. An original pressed steel or cast iron bath — common across Caterham's older housing stock — is often a higher-quality fixture than its modern equivalent, making resurfacing the smarter investment.

Yes. Our technicians carry an extensive range of professional-grade tints and can blend a precise colour match to any existing surface — including baths where the original white enamel has yellowed or discoloured with age. We can restore the bath to its original shade or refinish it in an entirely new colour if you prefer a fresh look as part of a bathroom update.

Absolutely. Individual chip and crack repairs are one of our most common requests across Caterham and the surrounding Surrey villages. Dropped bottles, shower fittings, and heavy objects cause localised impact damage that can be repaired without touching the rest of the surface. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired section blends invisibly with the surrounding finish.

A full bath resurfacing appointment typically takes between four and six hours on site, covering preparation, repair, dual bonding agent application, enamel spraying, infrared curing, and polishing. The bath is suitable for light use within twenty-four hours and reaches full cure within forty-eight hours of completion.

The majority of DIY repair kits we encounter have already been tried — and failed — before the homeowner calls us. These consumer-grade products lack the adhesion strength and durability of professional coatings. They tend to produce a visible, rough patch that discolours, lifts, or peels within weeks. A professional repair from Bath Fixer Caterham costs more than a kit but delivers a finish that lasts years and is backed by a written guarantee.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Caterham — including Caterham Valley, Caterham on the Hill, and Chaldon — along with the surrounding Surrey towns. Our regular service areas include Whyteleafe, Warlingham, Oxted, Godstone, Redhill, Reigate, Coulsdon, and Purley. We also attend properties across the wider Tandridge district and into neighbouring boroughs.

Bath Fixer provide professional bath repair and resurfacing across Caterham and the wider Surrey area

Caterham Valley & Caterham on the Hill

The town divides naturally between the Valley — with its high street, station, and mix of Victorian terraces, post-war housing, and modern apartment developments — and the Hill, where spacious 1920s and 1930s detached and semi-detached homes predominate. Bath repairs range from enamel restoration on original steel baths to acrylic crack repair in newer builds.

Book in Caterham
Whyteleafe

Sitting just north of Caterham, Whyteleafe features a concentration of 1930s and 1950s housing alongside newer apartment complexes. The area's older pressed steel baths frequently require enamel repair and rust treatment, while modern builds present acrylic surface damage.

Bath Repair Whyteleafe
Warlingham

This village east of Caterham is characterised by well-maintained 1930s detached properties and post-war family homes, many retaining their original bathroom fittings. Bath resurfacing offers homeowners a practical way to refresh tired enamel without the cost and disruption of a full renovation.
