About Bath Fixer Croydon

Bath Fixer Croydon provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout Croydon and the surrounding South London boroughs. Our qualified technicians handle every type of bath surface damage – from a single chip on a modern acrylic panel bath to complete enamel restoration on a Victorian cast iron tub – offering a practical, affordable alternative to ripping out and replacing the entire unit.

Croydon’s housing stock is remarkably varied. The borough stretches from the dense Victorian terraces of Thornton Heath and Norbury in the north, through the Edwardian and inter-war streets around central Croydon, to the larger detached homes and bungalows of Sanderstead, Purley, and Selsdon in the south. Each property type brings its own bathroom challenges, and Bath Fixer Croydon have the knowledge and materials to address them all.

Our defining advantage is the two-stage bonding system we apply before every resurfacing coat. Most competitors rely on a single primer layer, but Bath Fixer use two separate bonding agents – each cured with a hot air gun – to create an exceptionally durable bond between the new enamel and the original bath surface. The difference in longevity is significant: our finishes resist chipping, peeling, and discolouration for years rather than months.

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

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair needs we encounter across Croydon are common in neighbouring boroughs. Property owners in Bromley and Sutton face comparable issues with ageing bath surfaces, enamel deterioration, and impact damage. See our area-specific guides for more detail on your location.

Why Croydon Homeowners Choose Bath Fixer

Croydon is one of South London’s largest boroughs, and its built environment reflects over a century and a half of residential development. The Victorian terraces lining the streets of Thornton Heath, West Croydon, and Norbury were built between the 1870s and early 1900s and often contain original cast iron baths or early pressed steel replacements from subsequent renovations. Edwardian properties in Addiscombe and the streets surrounding East Croydon station brought larger bathroom fittings and heavier fixtures that are still in daily use.

The inter-war expansion of the 1920s and 1930s extended Croydon southward into Purley, Kenley, and Sanderstead, producing thousands of semi-detached and detached houses with compact upstairs bathrooms. These properties typically have pressed steel baths that suffer from enamel thinning, surface chips around the plug hole, and discolouration from years of hard water exposure. Post-war council estates in New Addington and Fieldway introduced lighter acrylic baths more prone to impact cracks and stress fractures.

Bath Fixer Croydon approach each property with an understanding of these differences. We assess the bath material, the nature of the damage, and the age of the fixture before recommending the appropriate repair method. That targeted approach – rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment – is what separates a repair that holds for years from one that fails within weeks.

Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Croydon borough

Victorian Cast Iron Bath – Thornton Heath

Croydon, CR7
The Challenge

A homeowner in a three-bedroom Victorian terrace on Brigstock Road had inherited a badly deteriorated cast iron roll-top bath. Years of limescale build-up and abrasive cleaning had stripped the enamel along the waterline, leaving rough patches that trapped dirt and stained almost immediately after cleaning. Rust had begun to bleed through at three separate points along the base. A local bathroom fitter quoted over £2,800 for removal, waste disposal, replumbing, and a replacement bath – plus the risk of damaging period floor tiles during extraction.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Croydon treated each rust area with a specialist corrosion inhibitor, then rebuilt the damaged enamel using a structural-grade filler matched to the original bath profile. The entire interior surface was keyed, degreased, and prepared for our two-stage bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and infrared cured on site, followed by a thorough polish and fresh silicone seal around the perimeter.

The Result

The cast iron bath was restored to a gleaming, smooth finish with no trace of the previous corrosion or surface roughness. The homeowner preserved the character of their Victorian bathroom at a cost of roughly one third of the replacement quote. The repair was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Stress Fracture – New Addington

Croydon, CR0
The Challenge

A letting agent managing a two-bedroom flat in New Addington reported a network of hairline stress fractures radiating from a deep gouge near the bath edge. The damage had occurred during a tenancy and was beginning to allow water to seep beneath the acrylic surface. With a new tenant due to move in within ten days, the agent needed a guaranteed repair with minimal disruption. A full replacement would have required plumber and tiler coordination over several days – well beyond the available window.

Our Solution

We stabilised the hairline fractures with a penetrating resin to prevent further spread, then filled the gouge with a structural compound and sanded it flush with the surrounding surface. The repair area was colour-matched to the original white acrylic and blended to create an invisible transition. A durable protective topcoat was applied and infrared cured on site to maximise hardness.

The Result

The repair was completed in under four hours. The bath surface showed no evidence of the previous fractures or gouge, and the letting agent was able to proceed with the tenancy changeover on schedule. The total cost came in at less than a quarter of the replacement estimate, with a written guarantee covering the work.

What Our Croydon Clients Say

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

Karen L.
South Croydon – 03/02/2025

“Outstanding work on our Victorian cast iron bath. The enamel had worn badly after decades of use but the Bath Fixer technician restored it beautifully. Punctual, tidy, and the finish is absolutely flawless. Would recommend to anyone in the Croydon area without hesitation.”

James H.

Priya M.
Addiscombe – 14/08/2024

“Had a deep crack in our acrylic bath that I was certain meant a full replacement. Bath Fixer Croydon repaired it in a single visit and the colour match is perfect – you genuinely cannot see where the damage was. Saved us hundreds of pounds and a huge amount of hassle.”

When You Need Bath Repair in Croydon

Common situations where Bath Fixer Croydon can save you the cost and disruption of a full replacement

Preparing a Property for Sale

Croydon’s property market is competitive, and buyers notice a tired bathroom immediately. A professional bath resurfacing transforms a dated or damaged bath at a fraction of the cost of a new bathroom – making a visible difference to viewings and valuations without a major outlay.

Tenant Changeover Repairs

Landlords across Croydon rely on Bath Fixer to restore baths between tenancies. A fresh resurfacing eliminates the wear, staining, and minor damage that accumulates during a letting period, presenting the bathroom as new for the incoming tenant without replacing the bath itself.

Accidental Impact Damage

A dropped showerhead, a falling tile, a heavy bottle – impact damage is the most common cause of bath chips we see across Croydon. Left unrepaired, the exposed area allows moisture penetration that leads to rust on steel baths or structural weakening on acrylic. A prompt professional repair prevents escalation.

Hard Water Staining & Limescale

South London’s hard water supply leaves stubborn limescale deposits and mineral staining that no amount of household cleaning can shift. Over time this etches into the enamel surface. Bath Fixer Croydon remove the built-up deposits and resurface the affected area to restore a clean, smooth finish.

Colour Change Without Replacement

If your Croydon bathroom has a coloured suite from the 1970s or 1980s that feels dated, resurfacing allows you to change the colour to a modern white or any other shade without the cost of removing the existing bath. The original fixture stays in place – only the finish changes.

Preserving a Period Bath

Many of Croydon’s Victorian and Edwardian properties still contain original cast iron baths that are irreplaceable in both quality and character. Resurfacing preserves these heritage fixtures for another generation of use, maintaining the period authenticity that adds value to the property.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bath Repair Croydon

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Croydon

Professional resurfacing restores your existing bath to a factory-fresh condition at roughly forty to sixty per cent less than a full replacement. You avoid the expense and disruption of disconnecting plumbing, removing tiles, disposing of the old unit, and fitting a new one. For period homes in Croydon where the original cast iron or pressed steel bath is a quality fixture, resurfacing preserves something a modern plastic replacement simply cannot replicate.

Our coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surrounds. We can refinish your entire bathroom suite in a matching colour of your choice. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than coating is the toilet, as the harsh cleaning products and abrasive brushes used in regular toilet maintenance will gradually break down the refinished surface over time.

A small chip left unattended allows moisture to penetrate beneath the surface, leading to rust on steel baths or structural weakening on acrylic. Bath Fixer Croydon repair individual chips, scratches, and minor impact damage as a standalone service. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired section blends invisibly with the rest of the bath surface.

A full bath resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site. The process covers surface preparation, repair of all chips and cracks, application of our dual bonding agents, professional enamel spray coating, infrared curing, and final polishing. The bath is safe for gentle use within twenty-four hours and reaches full cure strength within forty-eight hours.

The majority of our call-outs in Croydon involve correcting failed DIY repairs. Consumer kits from hardware stores use materials that lack the adhesion and durability of professional coatings. They typically produce a visible patch, an uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and peels within a few months. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Croydon costs more upfront but delivers a result measured in years rather than weeks.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Croydon and surrounding South London boroughs. Our regular service areas include Croydon town centre, South Croydon, Purley, Thornton Heath, Norbury, Selhurst, Addiscombe, Shirley, and Sanderstead. We also attend properties in neighbouring areas including Lewisham, Greenwich, Bromley, and Sutton.

Bath Repair in the Context of Croydon’s Property Market

How professional bath restoration supports property values across South London

Croydon’s property market has undergone significant transformation in recent years, with major regeneration around East Croydon station and the town centre drawing new investment and increasing demand across the borough. Average property prices in Croydon range from around £300,000 for a two-bedroom flat to over £700,000 for a detached family home in the southern suburbs, making cost-effective home improvements a priority for homeowners at every level.

A tired or damaged bathroom is one of the first things buyers and tenants notice, and one of the most expensive rooms to fully renovate. Professional bath resurfacing by Bath Fixer Croydon allows homeowners to present a fresh, modern-looking bathroom without the £5,000–£15,000 expense of a complete bathroom refit. For landlords managing buy-to-let portfolios across Thornton Heath, Norbury, or Selhurst, regular bath repairs between tenancies protect the condition of the property and maintain rental yields without large capital expenditure.

The Croydon Opportunity Area and the ongoing Westfield development plans continue to draw attention to the borough, making property presentation more important than ever for vendors and landlords alike. Bath Fixer Croydon provide the fast, reliable, and affordable bath repair service that supports this demand.
