Specialist Bath Resurfacing & Enamel Restoration in Surrey
Bath Fixer Godalming provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Godalming and the surrounding Surrey towns and villages. Our trained technicians restore everything from hairline chips in modern acrylic baths to full enamel refinishing on period cast iron tubs — offering a proven, cost-effective alternative to ripping out and replacing the entire bath.
Every repair starts with a careful assessment of the damage and the bath material. Whether the problem is a single chip from a dropped bottle, spreading enamel wear along the base of an older steel bath, or hairline cracks in an acrylic surface, we select the right preparation and repair method for the situation. Cast iron, pressed steel, acrylic, stone resin, and fibreglass — each demands a different approach, and Bath Fixer Godalming have the hands-on experience to treat them all correctly.
The key difference between our service and the competition is the dual bonding system we use on every job. Most firms apply a single primer coat before spraying the new enamel. Bath Fixer apply two bonding agents — the second cured with a high-temperature gun — to build an exceptionally strong adhesion layer between the original surface and the new finish. The outcome is a coating that resists chipping, peeling, and yellowing far longer than a single-primer method can achieve.
Beyond baths, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and other hard surfaces. If something in your bathroom or kitchen is chipped, cracked, stained, or worn — Bath Fixer Godalming can almost certainly restore it without the expense of full replacement.
Nearby Areas We Serve: Many of the period and inter-war properties we work on in Godalming share characteristics with the housing stock in neighbouring towns. Property owners in Guildford and Cranleigh face similar challenges with ageing baths, worn enamel, and period fixture preservation. See our area-specific guides for more detail.
Bath Fixer Godalming use a proprietary two-stage bonding system that delivers a stronger, longer-lasting finish than standard single-primer methods.

Our technicians blend the exact shade of your existing bath surface using professional-grade colour systems. The repaired area integrates invisibly with the surrounding finish — even on period enamel where the original white has mellowed over decades of use in Godalming's older properties.
Most chip repairs and minor restorations are finished within hours. A full bath resurfacing typically takes four to six hours on site, and the bath is ready for use within twenty-four hours. No multi-day disruption to your household routine.
Our dual bonding agent system and infrared curing process produce a factory-standard finish that resists chips, peeling, and staining. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee. The result is a bath surface that performs like new for years ahead.
Bath Fixer Godalming technicians are trained in specialist 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.
Godalming's architectural character is shaped by centuries of development — from the Georgian and early Victorian buildings clustered around the High Street and Church Street, through the substantial Edwardian villas that line roads such as Meadrow and Ockford Road, to the inter-war semi-detached estates that expanded the town during the 1920s and 1930s. Each era brought different bathroom fixtures and different materials, and each presents distinct repair challenges for today's homeowners.
The cast iron and heavy pressed steel baths found in Godalming's older properties are prone to enamel crazing, rust spots where moisture has worked through worn areas, and deep staining that no amount of cleaning will shift. The acrylic and stone resin baths fitted in more recent builds and renovations suffer from impact cracks, surface scratches, and stress fractures around edges and plug holes. Bath Fixer Godalming understand these distinctions and tailor every repair to the specific material, age, and condition of the surface.
That practical, material-specific knowledge is what distinguishes a professional repair that lasts from a budget fix that fails within months. We do not apply a generic method to every bath we see — we match the technique to the problem, and we stand behind every result with a written guarantee.
Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Godalming area
A homeowner in a Grade II listed cottage near Church Street had an original Victorian cast iron roll-top bath that had suffered decades of enamel deterioration. The interior surface showed extensive crazing — a network of fine cracks across the enamel — along with three deep chips around the tap end and rust bleeding through in two areas near the base. The owner had been quoted over £3,500 by a plumber to remove the bath, navigate the narrow period doorways, and install a modern replacement. They wanted to keep the original fixture.
Bath Fixer Godalming treated the corroded areas with a specialist rust converter before rebuilding the damaged sections with high-adhesion filler to recover the original profile. The entire inner surface was keyed, degreased, and prepared for our two-stage bonding process. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and infrared cured on site, restoring the bath to a smooth, bright finish that respected the character of the original piece.
The roll-top bath was restored to near-original condition without removing it from the bathroom. The homeowner saved over £2,800 compared to the replacement quote and preserved a period feature that adds genuine character and value to the property. The work was completed in a single day with a written guarantee.
A landlord managing a 1930s semi-detached rental property on St John's Street in Farncombe needed the bathroom freshened up between tenancies. The pressed steel bath showed heavy enamel wear across the base from years of daily use, limescale staining around the taps and overflow, and several chips along both edges. A full bathroom refit was out of budget — the landlord needed a cost-effective solution that would present well for prospective tenants and last several years.
We removed the limescale deposits with a specialist treatment, filled all chips with a structural compound, and sanded the entire surface to create a uniform key. After applying our dual bonding agents and a fresh enamel spray coat with infrared curing, we finished with a protective sealant around the bath perimeter. The work was completed within five hours.
The bath looked brand new — bright, smooth, and free from any visible wear or damage. The landlord was able to list the property on schedule and at the asking rent. The total cost was a fraction of a full bathroom refit, with a written guarantee covering the resurfacing work.
Common situations where Bath Fixer Godalming can help
A worn or damaged bath can put buyers off during viewings. Bath Fixer Godalming restore the surface to a like-new condition — improving the bathroom's appearance and protecting your asking price without the cost of a full bathroom renovation.
Landlords across Godalming and Farncombe use Bath Fixer to refresh tired baths between tenants. A professional resurface is far cheaper than a replacement and makes the bathroom presentable within twenty-four hours — keeping void periods short.
Dropped showerheads, heavy bottles, and ceramic accessories are the most common causes of bath chips we see in Godalming. A single chip can worsen quickly if left untreated — a prompt repair prevents moisture from penetrating and causing rust or structural damage beneath.
If your bathroom tiles and fixtures are in good condition but the bath has seen better days, a professional resurface from Bath Fixer Godalming can transform the room without the expense and upheaval of a full renovation project.
Godalming is home to many period properties where original cast iron and roll-top baths add genuine architectural value. Resurfacing preserves these character features rather than replacing them with modern alternatives that compromise the property's heritage appeal.
We regularly attend properties where a shop-bought repair kit has produced a rough, discoloured patch that looks worse than the original damage. Bath Fixer Godalming strip the failed repair back and refinish the surface properly — delivering the result the kit could never achieve.
The most frequent bath repair issues we encounter across Godalming's housing stock
The network of fine cracks that develops across old enamel surfaces is particularly common on the Victorian and Edwardian cast iron baths found in Godalming's period cottages and villas. While primarily a cosmetic issue at first, crazing allows moisture beneath the surface and eventually leads to deeper deterioration.
Where enamel has worn thin or chipped on cast iron and pressed steel baths, the exposed metal corrodes and rust stains begin spreading outwards through the surface. This is a frequent issue in older Godalming homes where baths have been in service for decades without resurfacing.
Dropped showerheads, bottles, and ceramic accessories cause localised damage on all bath types. On enamel surfaces the chip exposes the metal beneath; on acrylic baths the crack can spread under stress. Prompt repair prevents the damage from worsening and becoming a more costly problem.
Surrey's hard water leaves mineral deposits that build up around taps, overflows, and drain areas over time. These chalky white and brown marks resist standard cleaning products and etch into the enamel surface. Professional resurfacing removes the damage and provides a fresh, sealed finish.
Decades of daily use and cleaning with abrasive products gradually strip the gloss from bath enamel. The surface becomes rough to the touch, stains more easily, and loses its original brightness. A full resurfacing from Bath Fixer Godalming restores the smooth, glossy finish to factory condition.
Modern acrylic baths — common in renovated properties and newer builds around Godalming — can develop hairline cracks along stress points, particularly around the edges and near the plug hole. If not repaired, these fractures spread under the weight and movement of daily use.
Feedback from homeowners and landlords who have used Bath Fixer in the Godalming area
"Exceptional work on our Victorian cast iron bath. The technician took real care with the preparation and the colour match to our original enamel is spot on. We had tried a DIY kit previously which peeled within weeks — this professional finish is in a completely different league. Very happy with Bath Fixer Godalming."
"Called about a cracked acrylic bath in our rental property in Farncombe. Ilia came out within the week, repaired the damage in a few hours and the tenants were delighted. Professional service from start to finish — would absolutely use Bath Fixer again for our other properties."
"Our 1930s bath had rust stains and several chips around the plug hole. Alex assessed it thoroughly and explained exactly what was needed. The resurfacing took about five hours and the result is stunning — looks like a brand new bath. Fair price and a written guarantee too. Highly recommend Bath Fixer."
Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Godalming
Professional resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than a full bath replacement.

Resurfacing preserves the original fixture and restores it to a factory-fresh finish in a single visit.
