Expert Bath Restoration & Enamel Refinishing for West London Homes
Bath Fixer Hammersmith provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel refinishing across Hammersmith and the wider West London area. From hairline chips on modern acrylic tubs to full enamel restoration on period cast iron baths, our skilled technicians deliver a cost-effective, long-lasting alternative to ripping out and replacing your bath entirely.
Every job starts with a careful evaluation of the damage and the bath material. A crack in an acrylic panel bath demands a completely different repair approach to rust corrosion on a Victorian cast iron tub or surface wear on a pressed steel bath from the 1950s. Bath Fixer Hammersmith tailor the method to the material — acrylic, enamel, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, or fibreglass — so the repair is structurally sound, not just cosmetically acceptable.
The key difference between Bath Fixer and the majority of bathroom repair companies working in Hammersmith is our two-stage bonding system. Rather than applying a single primer coat before the new enamel layer, we use two separate bonding agents heat-cured in sequence to produce an exceptionally strong adhesion. The finished surface resists peeling, chipping, and yellowing far longer than a standard single-coat refinish.
Beyond bath repair, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, granite worktops, uPVC frames, and solid surface units. If a hard surface in your Hammersmith property is chipped, cracked, stained, or worn through, chances are Bath Fixer Hammersmith can bring it back without the expense of replacement.

Years of Local Experience
Our technicians blend the precise shade of your existing bath surface using professional-grade pigments. Even on period baths where the original white has mellowed over decades, the repaired section merges invisibly with the surrounding enamel.
Chip repairs and localised restorations are typically finished within a few hours. A complete bath resurfacing takes four to six hours on site, with the bath ready for normal use within twenty-four hours. Your household routine stays largely unaffected.
Our dual bonding agent process combined with infrared curing delivers a hard-wearing, factory-grade surface that stands up to daily use. Every Bath Fixer Hammersmith repair is backed by a written guarantee for your peace of mind.
Bath Fixer Hammersmith technicians hold specialist qualifications in refinishing enamel, acrylic, pressed steel, stone resin, shower trays, basins, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. We carry comprehensive public liability insurance on every appointment.
Hammersmith sits at the heart of West London's residential landscape, where Victorian terraces around Brook Green and Brackenbury Village stand alongside Edwardian mansion flats near the river, post-war council housing on estates off King Street, and modern apartments in the riverside developments along the Thames. Each generation of building brought different bathroom fixtures and materials — and each presents distinct repair demands.
The cast iron and heavy enamel baths still found in many of Hammersmith's Victorian and Edwardian properties develop problems particular to their age: deep enamel crazing, rust spots where moisture has worked through hairline fractures, and a general dulling of the surface from decades of abrasive cleaning. In contrast, the lighter acrylic and pressed steel baths installed in post-war housing and modern renovations are vulnerable to impact cracks, stress fractures around drain fittings, and surface scratches that trap grime and discolouration.
Bath Fixer Hammersmith have developed our approach around these West London-specific challenges. We assess the bath material, the age of the property, and the nature of the damage before recommending a repair strategy. That targeted methodology — rather than a generic, one-method-fits-all approach — is what produces results that hold up over years of daily use.
Real restoration projects completed by Bath Fixer across Hammersmith and West London
A homeowner in one of Brackenbury Village's sought-after Victorian terraces contacted Bath Fixer about a cast iron roll-top bath that had developed extensive enamel crazing across the base and sides. Rust patches had formed beneath the damaged enamel, and several deep chips along the rim — caused by a falling bathroom shelf — had exposed the bare iron underneath. A bathroom fitter had quoted over £3,000 to remove the heavy cast iron tub, repair the surrounding period tiling, and install a replacement.
Bath Fixer Hammersmith treated every rust-affected area with a specialist conversion agent, then rebuilt the chipped rim sections using a high-adhesion filler shaped to match the original profile. The entire interior surface was abraded, degreased, and prepared for our two-stage bonding treatment. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system, followed by polishing and a full perimeter reseal.
The bath was restored to a smooth, bright finish with no visible trace of the previous rust or chip damage. The homeowner preserved their original Victorian fixture, saved over £2,500 compared to replacement, and avoided the upheaval of a multi-day bathroom refit. The work was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.
A property management company overseeing a block of riverside apartments in Hammersmith reported a deep impact crack and radiating stress fractures in an acrylic bath. The damage had occurred when a heavy ceramic soap dish fell from the wall-mounted holder. The managing agent needed the repair completed before a scheduled tenant move-in — replacing the bath would have required plumbing work, panel removal, and at least three working days, pushing the tenancy start date back and costing the landlord rental income.
We stabilised the stress fractures to halt further propagation, then filled the impact point with a structural-grade acrylic compound. The repaired area was sanded level, colour-matched to the existing white finish, and blended into the surrounding surface. A clear protective topcoat was applied and cured on site to seal the repair.
The repair was finished in under four hours. The managing agent confirmed the tenancy on schedule with no delay, and the bath showed no sign of the original crack. The total cost was a fraction of the replacement quote, and the repair carried a written guarantee from Bath Fixer Hammersmith.
Reviews from homeowners and property managers who have used Bath Fixer in West London
"Brilliant work from start to finish. The technician arrived on time, explained the entire process clearly, and left the bathroom spotless. Our Victorian bath had deep rust stains and chipped enamel — now it looks factory fresh. Would not hesitate to recommend Bath Fixer to anyone in Hammersmith."
"We manage several rental flats around Hammersmith and have used Bath Fixer three times now. Consistently excellent results — fast turnaround, professional finish, and the tenants always comment on how good the baths look. Great value compared to replacement."
"Had a nasty crack in our acrylic bath that was getting worse by the week. Bath Fixer repaired it in one visit and the finish is seamless — you genuinely cannot tell where the damage was. Excellent service from booking to completion. Highly recommend."
Common situations where Bath Fixer Hammersmith provide the practical, cost-effective solution
A tired, stained, or chipped bath can put buyers off during viewings. Bath Fixer Hammersmith restore the bath to showroom condition in a single visit — a fraction of the cost of a new bathroom and far more impactful than a deep clean alone. Estate agents across W6 regularly recommend our service to vendors looking to maximise their asking price.
Hammersmith's strong rental market means landlords frequently need baths repaired between tenancies. Impact chips, scratched surfaces, and general wear accumulate during occupation. Bath Fixer turn these around quickly so there is no gap in rental income — often completing the work before the next tenant's move-in date.
Dropped bottles, fallen shower fittings, ceramic soap dishes hitting the bath surface — these everyday accidents leave chips and cracks that worsen over time if left untreated. A fast professional repair by Bath Fixer Hammersmith prevents water penetration, stops the damage spreading, and restores the surface to its original appearance.
Many of Hammersmith's Victorian and Edwardian homes still have their original cast iron or heavy enamel baths. Over time, the enamel develops crazing, dull patches, and yellowing. Bath Fixer Hammersmith strip back the worn surface and apply a fresh enamel coat — preserving the original fixture and its character rather than replacing it with something modern and generic.
West London's hard water supply leaves mineral deposits and limescale staining that household cleaners struggle to shift. Over years, these deposits etch into the bath surface and become permanent. Bath Fixer Hammersmith remove the damaged layer entirely and refinish the surface — eliminating stains that cleaning alone cannot touch.
We frequently attend Hammersmith properties where a previous DIY repair kit has been used and failed — leaving a rough patch, a mismatched colour, or a coating that has already started to peel. Bath Fixer strip back the failed attempt, prepare the surface properly, and apply a professional-grade finish that lasts.
Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Hammersmith
Professional resurfacing restores the existing bath to a like-new condition at roughly forty to sixty per cent less than the cost of a full replacement. It avoids the need for plumbing disconnection, tile removal, skip hire, and the disruption of having tradespeople in your home for several days. For period properties in Hammersmith where the original cast iron bath is a feature worth preserving, resurfacing is often the only sensible option.
Yes. Our professional coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish an entire suite to a uniform colour of your choosing. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than refinishing is the toilet — regular cleaning with abrasive chemicals and brushes will gradually wear through the refinished coating over time.
Absolutely. We frequently carry out individual chip and scratch repairs on baths that are otherwise in good condition. Impact damage from dropped bottles, shower fittings, or tiles is the most common cause of localised chips across Hammersmith properties. Our colour-matching technique ensures the repaired spot blends invisibly with the surrounding surface.
A full bath resurfacing normally takes between four and six hours on site. That covers surface preparation, damage repair, dual bonding agent application, enamel spraying, infrared curing, and final polishing. The bath can be used lightly after twenty-four hours and reaches full cure within forty-eight hours.
The short answer is that they are not reliable for a lasting result. The majority of our call-outs to correct failed repairs involve consumer-grade kits bought from hardware stores. These products use inferior adhesives and coatings that typically produce a rough texture, a visible colour mismatch, or a finish that yellows and peels within months. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Hammersmith costs more upfront but delivers a smooth, durable surface that endures for years.

Understanding the local housing stock that shapes bath repair demand in W6
Hammersmith occupies a prime position in West London, bounded by the Thames to the south and well-connected by road and rail to central London and the wider suburbs. The area's housing reflects over a century of development, from the tightly packed Victorian terraces of Brackenbury Village and the grand Edwardian mansion blocks near the Broadway, through to the post-war municipal housing of the mid-twentieth century and the glass-fronted riverside apartment complexes built from the 1990s onwards.
This mixture of property ages means Hammersmith's bathroom stock is unusually varied. Original cast iron baths and deep enamel suites survive in many of the older terraced houses, particularly where homeowners have chosen to restore rather than gut their period interiors. In converted flats — of which Hammersmith has a significant number — bathrooms have often been updated piecemeal, resulting in a mix of older pipework supporting newer, lighter bath units that were easier to manoeuvre through narrow hallways and up tight staircases.
The rental sector is a major driver of bath repair demand in Hammersmith. With its proximity to the Hammersmith Apollo, multiple corporate offices, and excellent transport links including the Piccadilly, District, and Hammersmith & City lines, the area attracts a large population of professional tenants. Landlords and managing agents require fast, cost-effective bath repairs between tenancies — work that needs to look pristine for viewings without the cost or timescale of a full bathroom refit.
Property values in Hammersmith range from around £400,000 for a small flat through to well over £2 million for a family house on one of the more desirable streets. At every price point, maintaining bathroom fixtures in good condition is essential to preserving and enhancing property value. Bath Fixer Hammersmith work with individual homeowners, private landlords, estate agents, and property management firms across all segments of the local market.
