About Bath Fixer Ealing

Bath Fixer Ealing provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout Ealing and the surrounding areas of West London. Our experienced technicians handle everything from isolated chip repairs on modern acrylic tubs to comprehensive enamel restoration on original Edwardian cast iron baths — offering a practical, affordable alternative to ripping out and replacing your existing bathroom fixtures.

Every job begins with a careful evaluation of the surface. The nature of the damage, the material of the bath, and the age of the fixture all influence the repair method we select. Acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass each demand a tailored approach, and our team at Bath Fixer Ealing are equipped to work confidently across every one of these surfaces.

The foundation of our process is a proprietary two-stage bonding system. Rather than applying a single coat of primer — as many competitors do — we lay down two bonding agents, each cured with targeted heat, before applying the final enamel spray. This dual-primer method creates a substantially stronger bond between the new coating and the original bath surface, producing a finish that holds up under daily use for years rather than peeling or yellowing after a few months.

Beyond baths, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Ealing property has sustained damage, chances are Bath Fixer Ealing can bring it back to life without the expense of a complete replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The bathroom repair challenges we encounter in Ealing are reflected across neighbouring parts of West London. Homeowners in Acton and Hammersmith face very similar issues with ageing enamel, impact damage on acrylic baths, and worn surfaces in rental properties. See our area-specific guides for more detail.

Why Ealing Homeowners Trust Bath Fixer

Ealing's residential streets tell the story of over a century of London's suburban development. The grand Edwardian detached houses along Ealing Common and the tree-lined avenues of Haven Green sit alongside the solid 1930s semis of Northfields and Pitshanger, the post-war housing of West Ealing, and the growing number of modern apartment conversions throughout the borough. Each generation of building brought different bathroom designs, different materials, and different challenges when those bathrooms eventually need attention.

The cast iron roll-top baths still found in many of Ealing's Edwardian properties are prone to enamel crazing and rust spots where moisture works its way through surface imperfections that develop over decades of use. The pressed steel baths fitted in inter-war and post-war properties commonly suffer from chipping around tap fittings and drain areas, with dull, roughened surfaces where abrasive cleaning products have gradually eroded the original glaze. In more recently built or refurbished properties, acrylic baths are susceptible to impact cracks, scratches, and stress fractures — particularly in high-turnover rental accommodation.

Bath Fixer Ealing understand these differences at a practical level. We assess each bath on its own terms and select the right technique for the specific material and damage type. That attention to detail is what separates a lasting professional repair from a temporary fix that breaks down within months.

Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Ealing and West London area

Edwardian Cast Iron Bath — Haven Green

Ealing Broadway, W5
The Challenge

The owner of a well-maintained Edwardian house near Haven Green had an original cast iron bath that had developed extensive enamel crazing across the base and sides. Years of hard water deposits had left stubborn brown staining that no amount of cleaning could remove. A deep chip near the overflow — caused by a falling glass shelf bracket — had exposed the iron underneath, and a ring of rust was already spreading outward from the impact point. Two bathroom firms had quoted between £3,000 and £4,500 for a full replacement including tile remediation work.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Ealing neutralised the rust with a specialist converter, then rebuilt the damaged area to its original contour using a high-adhesion compound. The entire surface was abraded to remove the crazed enamel, degreased, and prepared for our two-stage bonding treatment. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were spray-applied and cured using our infrared system, followed by a final polish and perimeter reseal.

The Result

The bath was restored to a gleaming, uniform white finish — the crazing, staining, and chip damage entirely invisible. The homeowner preserved the character of their original Edwardian bathroom at a fraction of the replacement cost, with the work completed in a single visit and backed by our written guarantee.

Rental Property Bath Restoration — Northfields

Northfields, W13
The Challenge

A Northfields landlord managing a two-bedroom flat had a tenant-changeover deadline approaching and an acrylic bath that had seen better days. The surface was covered in fine scratches, there were two visible dents in the base where heavy items had been dropped, and the area around the taps had yellowed noticeably. Replacing the bath would have required a plumber, a tiler, and at least three days — pushing past the incoming tenant's move-in date and costing over £1,500 in labour and materials.

Our Solution

We filled the impact dents with a structural-grade acrylic compound, sanded the entire surface to remove scratches and yellowed areas, and applied our dual bonding agents before spraying a fresh enamel finish in bright white. The perimeter was resealed to provide a clean, watertight edge against the existing tile work.

The Result

The bath looked brand new. The landlord met the tenant-changeover deadline comfortably, saved over a thousand pounds compared to a replacement, and the new tenant moved in to a bathroom that appeared freshly fitted. The entire repair was completed in a single morning visit.

When Do You Need Bath Repair in Ealing?

Recognising the signs that your bath needs professional attention before small problems escalate

Visible Chips or Cracks

Any break in the bath surface — however small — exposes the material underneath to water. On enamel and steel baths this leads directly to rust; on acrylic baths, cracks can spread under repeated thermal stress. Early repair is always cheaper than waiting.

Rust Stains or Discolouration

Brown or orange marks that resist cleaning usually indicate corrosion forming beneath the enamel. Left untreated, the affected area will expand and eventually compromise the structural integrity of the bath surface. Bath Fixer Ealing treat and seal these areas before they worsen.

Rough or Dull Surface

When the bath surface feels rough to the touch or has lost its original shine, the protective glaze has been worn away — often by years of abrasive cleaning. Resurfacing restores a smooth, hygienic, easy-to-clean finish that looks and feels new.

Preparing for Sale or Let

A tired-looking bathroom can reduce property appeal and value. Bath resurfacing transforms the centrepiece of the room for a fraction of the cost of a full refit — making it one of the most cost-effective improvements available to Ealing homeowners and landlords before a sale or new tenancy.

Failed DIY Repair

Shop-bought bath repair kits frequently produce unsatisfactory results — visible patches, mismatched colours, rough textures, and coatings that peel within weeks. Bath Fixer Ealing regularly correct these failed attempts with a professional finish that lasts.

Budget-Conscious Renovation

If a full bathroom renovation is beyond budget, resurfacing the bath and basin delivers a dramatic visual improvement at a manageable cost. Many Ealing homeowners combine our bath repair service with a fresh coat of paint and new accessories for a budget-friendly bathroom refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Ealing

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Ealing

Bath resurfacing generally costs between forty and seventy per cent less than a full bath replacement. When you factor in the additional expense of disconnecting plumbing, removing tiles, disposing of the old bath, and fitting a new one, the savings are substantial. For Ealing properties with original cast iron or pressed steel baths, resurfacing preserves a quality fixture that modern replacements rarely match.

We refinish entire bathroom suites including baths, basins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surrounds. Colour changes are also available if you want a fresh look without the cost of replacement. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than refinishing is the toilet, as the cleaning products and brushes used on toilets will gradually wear down the resurfaced coating.

Addressing chips and scratches promptly is always worthwhile. On enamel and pressed steel baths, exposed areas allow moisture to reach the metal beneath, leading to rust that spreads outward and worsens progressively. On acrylic baths, untreated cracks can propagate under the stress of repeated filling. A small repair now prevents a far more expensive restoration later.

Most full bath resurfacing appointments take between four and six hours on site. The bath is ready for careful use after twenty-four hours and reaches full cure within forty-eight hours. Individual chip repairs are usually completed in under two hours. We aim to cause as little disruption to your daily routine as possible.

In our experience, the majority of consumer bath repair kits produce a finish that deteriorates rapidly. The adhesives and coatings in retail kits lack the bonding strength and durability of professional-grade materials. We frequently attend properties across Ealing to correct DIY attempts that have peeled, yellowed, or left visible patches. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Ealing costs more upfront but delivers a result that endures.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Ealing and extends into neighbouring parts of West London. We regularly attend properties in Hanwell, Northfields, South Ealing, West Ealing, Acton, Hammersmith, Hounslow, Brent, and Greenford. Contact us to confirm coverage for your postcode.

Understanding Ealing's Bathrooms

How Ealing's diverse housing stock shapes the bath repair needs we encounter across the borough

Ealing has long been known as the "Queen of the Suburbs" — a title earned during the Edwardian era when the district's wide avenues and generous plots attracted families seeking an elegant alternative to inner London. That heritage is reflected in the bathrooms we work in today. The large Edwardian houses around Ealing Common, Haven Green, and Pitshanger often retain their original cast iron baths — heavy, beautifully proportioned fixtures that are simply too valuable (and too difficult to remove) to replace lightly.

Moving further into the borough, the 1920s and 1930s brought a wave of semi-detached development across Northfields, Hanwell, and parts of West Ealing. These properties typically house pressed steel baths installed during the original construction or during mid-century bathroom updates. After sixty to ninety years of daily use, these baths frequently show worn enamel, dulled surfaces, and persistent staining that no cleaning product can shift.

More recent decades have added modern apartment conversions, new-build developments near Ealing Broadway station, and HMO properties serving the borough's large student and professional rental market. Acrylic baths dominate these newer settings and — while lighter and less expensive to install — are more vulnerable to impact damage, scratching, and yellowing over time.

Bath Fixer Ealing work across all of these property types daily. Whether the job involves breathing new life into a century-old cast iron centrepiece or getting a scratched rental bath looking presentable before a new tenant moves in, we bring the right materials, the right technique, and the right level of care for every situation.
