About Bath Fixer Cranleigh

Bath Fixer Cranleigh provide expert bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Cranleigh and the surrounding Surrey villages. Whether the damage is a single chip in an acrylic panel bath or widespread enamel deterioration on a period cast iron tub, our trained technicians deliver a lasting, professional repair that eliminates the need for costly bath replacement.

Every job begins with a detailed inspection of the surface. We assess the material, the extent of the damage, and the condition of the surrounding area before recommending the most effective repair approach. Cranleigh properties range from Victorian and Edwardian cottages with original cast iron baths through to modern village developments fitted with acrylic or stone resin units, and each surface demands a different treatment method. Bath Fixer Cranleigh have the practical knowledge to handle them all.

The reason our repairs outlast those offered by most competitors comes down to our bonding process. We apply two separate bonding agents, each cured individually with a hot air gun, before the enamel coat is sprayed. This dual primer system produces a significantly stronger adhesion between the new surface and the original bath than a single-primer method can achieve. The result is a finish that resists peeling, chipping, and discolouration over the long term.

Beyond baths, Bath Fixer Cranleigh also repair and restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tile surfaces, uPVC panels, granite worktops, and solid surface units. If a hard surface in your property has suffered damage, there is every likelihood we can restore it without the expense and disruption of full replacement.

Why Cranleigh Homeowners Choose Bath Fixer

Cranleigh is the largest village in England, and its property stock reflects over a century of residential growth. The historic core around the High Street and Cranleigh Common contains Victorian and Edwardian cottages and villas, many of which retain their original cast iron baths with period enamel finishes. The inter-war expansion brought substantial detached and semi-detached houses with pressed steel baths, while the post-war decades and more recent developments along Knowle Lane and the Stocklund Square area introduced modern acrylic and stone resin fittings.

Each of these materials deteriorates differently. The cast iron baths in Cranleigh's older cottages are susceptible to deep enamel crazing, rust bleeding through where moisture has breached the surface, and widespread dulling caused by decades of abrasive cleaning. Pressed steel baths from mid-century homes tend to develop surface chips around the tap end and along the base where the enamel has grown brittle with age. Acrylic baths in newer properties are vulnerable to impact cracks, stress fractures near the edges, and scratches from everyday use.

Bath Fixer Cranleigh tailor every repair to the particular material and condition of the bath. We do not apply a generic process across all surface types. That attention to the specific characteristics of the fixture in front of us is what separates a professional repair that lasts from a quick fix that fails within a few months.

Recent Bath Repairs in Cranleigh

Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Cranleigh and Surrey area

Victorian Cast Iron Roll-Top – Cranleigh Common

Cranleigh, GU6
The Challenge

A period cottage near Cranleigh Common contained an original Victorian cast iron roll-top bath that the owners were reluctant to part with. Years of hard water exposure had left heavy limescale deposits across the interior, and the enamel was deeply crazed along the base with rust spots visible at both drain and overflow points. A bathroom fitter had quoted over £3,500 to remove the bath, repair the exposed floorboards and plumbing, and install a modern replacement.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Cranleigh treated all corroded areas with a specialist rust converter before rebuilding the eroded enamel sections with high-adhesion filler. The entire interior was abraded, degreased, and prepared for our two-stage bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed using our professional system and cured with infrared heat, followed by a full polish and perimeter reseal.

The Result

The roll-top bath was restored to a smooth, brilliant white finish with no trace of the previous corrosion or crazing. The owners preserved a characterful period fixture that would have been impossible to replace like-for-like, saved over £2,800 compared to the replacement quote, and had the work completed in a single day with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair – Knowle Lane New Build

Cranleigh, GU6
The Challenge

A homeowner in one of the newer developments off Knowle Lane discovered a spreading crack along the base of their acrylic bath, accompanied by several smaller stress fractures radiating from the main fault line. A heavy ceramic soap dish had fallen from the shelf above and struck the bath surface, initiating the damage. The developer's warranty had expired, and the quoted replacement cost including plumbing and retiling exceeded £1,800.

Our Solution

We stabilised the main crack and each of the surrounding stress fractures using a reinforcing compound applied from both the surface and rear side where accessible. The damaged area was filled with a structural acrylic filler, sanded level, and the entire repaired zone was blended and colour-matched to the existing white finish. A protective topcoat was applied and cured on site.

The Result

The bath was structurally sound and visually flawless within three hours. The homeowner avoided the cost and upheaval of a full replacement, and the repaired area was indistinguishable from the undamaged surface. The work was completed with a written guarantee covering both the structural integrity and the surface finish.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

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

1
Protection & Preparation

Flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and all adjacent surfaces are covered with protective sheeting. Any existing sealant is removed and the work area is cleared for unrestricted access to the bath.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Assessment

Industrial-strength cleaning agents strip all residue, limescale, and contaminants from the surface. Every chip, crack, scratch, and area of erosion is identified and mapped for targeted repair.

3
Masking & Surface Keying

Taps, overflow, drain, tiles, and walls are masked with specialist materials. The bath surface is keyed to create an optimal profile for bonding, and a final degrease removes any remaining contaminants.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

The first bonding agent is applied and cured. A second primer follows, applied using high-temperature techniques. This two-stage process – the hallmark of the Bath Fixer method – produces an exceptionally strong bond with the original surface.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

Colour-matched enamel is professionally sprayed across the prepared surface. Our infrared low-bake curing system accelerates the bonding process and produces a smooth, hard-wearing, factory-quality finish.

6
Polish, Seal & Inspection

The surface is polished to a high gloss, all masking is removed, and a protective waterproof sealant is applied around the bath perimeter. A final quality inspection is carried out before sign-off.

Margaret H.
Cranleigh – 20/01/2025

"We had a badly chipped cast iron bath in our cottage near Cranleigh Common. Alex arrived promptly and spent time explaining every stage of the process. The finish is immaculate and the colour match to our original enamel is spot on. Thoroughly recommended."

James R.
Cranleigh – 12/11/2024

"Ilia repaired a deep scratch and several chips in our acrylic bath. He was professional, tidy, and the result is faultless. You genuinely cannot tell where the damage was. Bath Fixer offered by far the best value compared to the quotes we received for replacement."

Caroline P.
Ewhurst – 05/08/2024

"Needed our rental property bathroom sorted before the new tenants moved in. Bath Fixer resurfaced the bath and repaired the basin in a single day. The letting agent was impressed with the quality and it saved us a significant amount compared to fitting new sanitaryware."

Frequently Asked Questions – Bath Repair Cranleigh

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Cranleigh

Resurfacing your existing bath typically costs between forty and seventy per cent less than a full replacement. For period properties common in Cranleigh, where cast iron baths are built into tiled surrounds, removal can mean extensive disruption to tiling, flooring, and plumbing. Resurfacing preserves the original bath and restores it to a factory-fresh condition in a single visit, without any of that upheaval.

Yes. Our coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish a complete suite to a uniform colour of your choice in a single visit. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than coating is the toilet, as the cleaning chemicals and abrasive brushes used during regular maintenance gradually wear through a refinished surface over time.

Absolutely. Even a small chip exposes the substrate beneath the enamel to moisture, which over time leads to rust on steel baths or further cracking on acrylic. A professional repair seals the damage, colour-matches it to the surrounding surface, and prevents the problem from worsening. It is far less expensive to address a chip early than to deal with the corrosion or cracking it causes if left untreated.

A complete bath resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site. That includes thorough surface preparation, chip and crack repair, the application of our dual bonding agents, enamel spray coating, infrared curing, and a final polish. The bath can be used lightly within twenty-four hours and reaches full cure within forty-eight hours.

The majority of our callouts to rectify failed repairs involve consumer-grade kits purchased from hardware stores. These products lack the adhesion strength, colour accuracy, and durability of professional-grade materials. They frequently produce an obvious patch, an uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and lifts within a matter of weeks. A professional repair from Bath Fixer Cranleigh costs more upfront but delivers a result measured in years rather than months.

Bath Fixer covers all of Cranleigh and the surrounding Surrey villages. Our regular service area includes Ewhurst, Alfold, Shamley Green, Bramley, Shere, Wonersh, Dunsfold, and Chiddingfold. We also attend properties across the wider Waverley and Guildford boroughs, including Godalming, Haslemere, and Guildford itself.
