About Bath Fixer Chelsea

Bath Fixer Chelsea specialise in the careful restoration of bathroom surfaces throughout one of London's most prestigious residential neighbourhoods. From the grand Victorian townhouses lining Cheyne Walk to the elegant Edwardian conversions along Sloane Street, Chelsea's properties contain some of the finest period bathrooms in the capital — and maintaining them demands a level of skill that generic bathroom companies simply cannot offer.

Our methodology centres on precision and material knowledge. Every repair begins with a detailed assessment of the surface — its composition, age, existing coatings, and the nature of the damage. Cast iron responds differently to treatment than pressed steel; original Victorian enamel demands a different approach to a 1980s acrylic panel bath. Bath Fixer Chelsea tailor every repair to the specific fixture in front of us, rather than applying a standard process regardless of the material.

The distinction that sets Bath Fixer apart from other surface repair firms operating across West London is our proprietary dual bonding system. Most competitors apply a single primer coat before the enamel finish. We apply two separate bonding agents, each cured with controlled heat, creating an adhesion layer that is demonstrably stronger and longer-lasting. This is the reason our resurfaced baths maintain their finish for years, not months.

Beyond bathtubs, Bath Fixer Chelsea restore washbasins, sink pedestals, shower trays, ceramic tile surfaces, granite worktops, uPVC frames, and cabinet surfaces. If a hard surface in your Chelsea home has sustained damage — whether from impact, wear, chemical staining, or age — we can almost certainly repair it at a fraction of the replacement cost.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The heritage properties and period bathroom fittings we encounter across Chelsea are also prevalent in neighbouring West London areas. Homeowners in Belgravia and Kensington face very similar challenges with cast iron baths, ageing enamel, and the need for specialist restoration that respects the character of their properties.

Precision Colour Matching

Chelsea's period baths often carry original enamel finishes that have mellowed with age. Our technicians replicate the precise tone — whether aged cream, antique white, or a bespoke heritage shade — so the repaired area sits invisible against the surrounding surface.

Single-Visit Completion

Individual chip repairs and minor surface restoration are typically finished within a single appointment. Full resurfacing of a standard bath requires four to six hours on site, after which the bath is usable within twenty-four hours. No multi-day disruption.

Guaranteed Durability

The dual bonding agent system and infrared curing process we employ create a finish engineered to resist chipping, peeling, and staining under daily use. Every resurfacing job is backed by a written guarantee — assurance that the result will endure.

Period Property Expertise

Bath Fixer Chelsea technicians are trained across every surface type encountered in period and modern properties — cast iron enamel, pressed steel, acrylic, stone resin, copper, ceramic tile, and composite materials. Fully insured for every appointment.

Why Chelsea Homeowners Trust Bath Fixer

Chelsea's residential character is defined by its period architecture. The Victorian terraces and Edwardian townhouses that line streets from the King's Road to Chelsea Embankment were built during an era when bathrooms were designed as permanent, high-quality rooms — fitted with cast iron roll-top baths, glazed ceramic basins, and heavy enamel fixtures intended to last generations.

Many of those original fittings are still in daily use today, and their age brings predictable challenges. Enamel surfaces develop fine crazing networks that trap dirt and discolouration. Impact chips — from dropped showerheads, bottles, and tile fragments — expose the iron substrate beneath, allowing rust to form and spread beneath the surface. Hard water deposits etch into the enamel over decades, creating a roughened texture that no amount of cleaning can reverse.

Bath Fixer Chelsea have spent years working specifically within this type of housing stock. We understand the difference between a surface that requires localised repair and one that needs full resurfacing, and we advise honestly rather than defaulting to the most expensive option. That reputation for straightforward, quality work is the reason Chelsea property owners return to us and recommend us to their neighbours.

Genuine restoration projects completed by Bath Fixer across Chelsea and the surrounding West London area

Victorian Roll-Top Restoration — Cheyne Walk

Chelsea, SW3
The Challenge

The owner of a Grade II listed townhouse on Cheyne Walk contacted us about a large cast iron claw-foot bath dating from the 1890s. The original enamel had developed an extensive crazing pattern across the interior, with three deep chips along the base where the cast iron had corroded beneath. Rust bleeding was visible through the enamel in several areas. A bathroom fitter had quoted £4,800 to crane the bath out and fit a modern replacement — an option the homeowner rejected on heritage grounds.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Chelsea treated each corroded area with a specialist rust conversion compound to arrest further oxidation. The deep chips were rebuilt with a structural-grade filler matched to the bath's original profile. The entire interior surface was abraded, degreased, and treated with our dual bonding agent system before two coats of heritage-white enamel were spray-applied and infrared cured. A full perimeter reseal completed the restoration.

The Result

The bath was returned to a pristine, smooth finish with no trace of the previous corrosion or crazing. The heritage-white tone matched the period character of the bathroom perfectly. The homeowner saved over £4,000 compared to the replacement quote, preserved the original fixture, and avoided weeks of listed building consent paperwork. Completed in a single day with a written guarantee.

Rental Property Bath & Basin — King's Road

Chelsea, SW3
The Challenge

A property management company overseeing a portfolio of converted flats along the King's Road needed two bathrooms turned around between tenancies. Both flats had acrylic panel baths with multiple surface scratches, a deep crack near the plug hole in one unit, and badly stained basins. The managing agent required the work completed within a tight five-day window before new tenants moved in, and replacement was not viable within the timeframe or budget.

Our Solution

We scheduled both properties on consecutive days. Each bath received surface preparation, crack stabilisation, scratch filling, and a full acrylic resurfacing with our dual bonding system. The basins were degreased, repaired where necessary, and refinished to a bright white. Both bathrooms were resealed and left clean and ready for inspection.

The Result

Both bathrooms were completed within three days — well inside the agent's deadline. The combined cost for all four fixtures came to less than one-third of the price quoted for replacing even a single bath. The managing agent now uses Bath Fixer Chelsea as their standard specification for all tenant-changeover bathroom work across their Chelsea portfolio.

Bath Fixer Chelsea Accreditations

Credentials You Can Rely On

Bath Fixer Chelsea operate to the highest professional standards in the surface restoration industry. Our technicians complete rigorous training across every bath material and surface type before attending a single appointment. We carry comprehensive public liability insurance, and every repair is documented with a written guarantee that gives our customers genuine protection.

The period properties that define Chelsea's housing stock demand a specialist approach. We have invested in training, tooling, and materials specifically suited to heritage bathroom fixtures — cast iron, period enamel, copper, and heavy ceramic — because these surfaces cannot be treated with the same off-the-shelf products used on modern acrylic baths.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

How Bath Fixer Chelsea restore your bath to a factory-quality finish — step by step

1
Room Protection

Dust sheets are laid across the flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and all major fixtures. Existing sealant is carefully removed and the surrounding area is fully protected before work begins.

2
Cleaning & Damage Assessment

Professional-grade cleaning agents strip all residue from the surface. Every chip, crack, scratch, mineral deposit, and area of erosion is identified and repaired using appropriate structural compounds.

3
Masking & Degreasing

All surrounding tiles, walls, taps, drain fittings, and overflow plates are masked with specialist materials. An industrial-strength degreaser eliminates any remaining contaminants from the bath surface.

4
Two-Stage Bonding Application

The first bonding agent is applied and cured, followed by a second primer layer using controlled high-temperature application. This proprietary two-stage process builds an adhesion foundation far stronger than industry-standard single-coat methods.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

Colour-matched enamel is professionally sprayed onto the prepared surface and cured using our infrared low-bake system. This accelerates the chemical bond and produces a smooth, hard-wearing factory-grade finish.

6
Final Polish & Seal

The finished surface is hand-polished to a high sheen, all masking is removed, and a waterproof perimeter sealant is applied. A thorough inspection ensures every detail meets Bath Fixer standards before sign-off.

When You Need a Bath Repair in Chelsea

Common scenarios where Bath Fixer Chelsea can save you time, money, and disruption

Chipped Enamel on a Period Bath

A dropped showerhead or heavy object has cracked through the enamel on your cast iron bath. Left untreated, moisture reaches the iron beneath and rust begins to form — spreading under the surface and worsening with every use. Early repair prevents costly escalation.

Rust Bleeding Through the Surface

Orange-brown staining appearing on your bath's surface — particularly around the plug hole, overflow, or along the base — signals that corrosion has breached the enamel. Our rust conversion and resurfacing process halts the damage and restores the finish completely.

Hard Water Staining & Etching

London's hard water leaves mineral deposits that etch into enamel surfaces over years of use. The result is a roughened, discoloured texture that no cleaning product can reverse. Professional resurfacing strips the damaged layer and applies a fresh, smooth finish.

Crazing on Original Enamel

Fine hairline cracks across the enamel surface — common on baths from the Victorian and Edwardian periods — trap dirt and bacteria, creating a surface that looks permanently grimy regardless of cleaning effort. Resurfacing replaces the crazed layer entirely.

Preparing a Property for Sale

In Chelsea's competitive property market, a tired-looking bathroom can materially affect buyer perception. A resurfaced bath and basin present as new without the cost or timeline of a full bathroom refit — an efficient way to refresh the space before viewings begin.

Tenant Changeover Damage

Scratches, scuffs, and impact marks accumulated during a tenancy can make a bathroom look neglected. Bath Fixer Chelsea work with letting agents to restore bath and basin surfaces quickly between tenancies — avoiding delays to new occupancy.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Chelsea

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Chelsea

A targeted chip or crack repair on a cast iron bath starts from £99, while a complete resurfacing of a standard-sized roll-top bath typically falls between £355 and £365. The exact price depends on the extent of the damage and the condition of the existing enamel. We provide a fixed written quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.

Yes. All of our resurfacing work is carried out in situ, which means the bath stays exactly where it is. There is no need to disconnect plumbing, disturb surrounding tiles, or move heavy cast iron fixtures through period doorways. Our technicians prepare, repair, and refinish the surface on site, and the bath is ready for use within twenty-four hours.

For most Chelsea properties, refinishing is the superior option. An original cast iron roll-top bath is a significant architectural feature and a genuine asset to the property. Replacing it with a modern alternative diminishes both the character and the value of a period home. Refinishing restores the original to a like-new condition at a fraction of the replacement cost, without the upheaval of plumbing disconnection, floor repair, and waste disposal.

A complete bath resurfacing appointment typically requires between four and six hours on site. This covers the full process from surface preparation through chip and crack repair, dual bonding agent application, enamel spray coating, infrared curing, and final polishing. The bath can be used lightly after twenty-four hours and reaches full cure within forty-eight hours.

The majority of DIY repair kits we encounter in Chelsea have created more problems than they solved. The consumer-grade fillers and paints included in these kits lack the adhesion strength and durability of professional coatings. They tend to produce a visible, rough patch that yellows and lifts within weeks. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Chelsea costs more than a kit but delivers a seamless, long-lasting result that you will not need to redo.

Bath Fixer operate throughout Chelsea and the wider West London area. We regularly attend properties in Belgravia, Kensington, Fulham, Battersea, Westminster, Knightsbridge, and Pimlico. Our technicians are familiar with the period housing stock across all of these areas and the specific bath repair challenges each presents.

Understanding Chelsea's Property Landscape

Chelsea occupies a position in the London property market that few neighbourhoods can match. The area's housing stock is overwhelmingly Victorian and Edwardian in origin, with grand terraced townhouses dating from the 1870s through to the early 1920s forming the backbone of the residential streets between Sloane Square and the river. These properties were built to exceptional standards and their bathrooms reflect that — heavy cast iron roll-top baths, ceramic pedestal basins, and solid enamel fixtures were standard specifications.

The conversion of many larger Chelsea houses into individual flats during the mid-twentieth century introduced a second layer of bathroom diversity. Some conversions retained the original period fittings, while others installed pressed steel or acrylic baths that were contemporary at the time but have now aged considerably themselves. More recent high-end renovations have introduced freestanding composite and stone resin baths to the mix — particularly in the premium developments along Chelsea Embankment and around Chelsea Harbour.

This variety of materials and eras means that a bath repair service operating in Chelsea must be capable of working across every surface type. Bath Fixer Chelsea have the training, tools, and material expertise to restore cast iron, pressed steel, acrylic, stone resin, copper, and composite surfaces to a factory-quality finish — regardless of the age or condition of the fixture.
