About Bath Fixer Merton

Bath Fixer Merton provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout the London Borough of Merton and surrounding South London areas. Our skilled technicians handle every repair scenario — from hairline cracks in ageing pressed steel baths to full enamel restoration on original cast iron tubs — offering a practical, cost-effective alternative to ripping out and replacing your entire bath.

Every job starts with a detailed inspection of the damage and the bath material. Whether the problem is a cluster of chips from years of daily wear, deep scratches caused by abrasive cleaning, or a corroded patch where moisture has worked its way beneath the enamel, Bath Fixer Merton identify the correct repair approach for the surface in question. We work across acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass — each demanding its own preparation method and bonding technique.

The defining feature of our service is the dual bonding agent system. Most bath repair firms rely on a single primer coat before spraying the new enamel. Bath Fixer Merton apply two separate bonding agents, each heat-cured with a hot air gun before the enamel layer goes on. This creates a significantly stronger adhesion between the old surface and the new finish — the reason our results hold up for years rather than peeling or flaking within months.

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, scratched, or worn down, Bath Fixer Merton can almost certainly restore it without the expense of a full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The bathroom repair needs we see across Merton are echoed in neighbouring areas. Homeowners in Wimbledon and Tooting face very similar issues with worn enamel on period baths, chipped acrylic in updated bathrooms, and limescale damage across all surface types.

Why Merton Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Merton's residential landscape is shaped by over a century of building. The Edwardian terraces and semis that line the streets of Morden and South Wimbledon give way to substantial inter-war detached houses around Raynes Park and Motspur Park, while the post-war estates of Mitcham and Phipps Bridge introduced a different housing stock entirely. Each period left behind different bathroom fixtures — and each brings its own set of repair challenges.

The original cast iron and pressed steel baths found in Merton's older Edwardian and inter-war properties are prone to enamel wear along the base where water pools, rust patches where chips have gone unrepaired, and a general dulling caused by decades of abrasive cleaning products. In the post-war homes, lighter pressed steel baths often show chipping around the tap end and plug hole, while the acrylic baths fitted during later renovations are vulnerable to impact cracks, surface scratches, and yellowing from hard water.

Bath Fixer Merton understand these differences because we see them daily. We do not apply a generic repair method across every surface — we adapt our preparation, bonding, and finishing to suit the exact material and condition of each individual bath. That targeted approach is what separates a lasting professional repair from one that deteriorates within months.

Edwardian Cast Iron Bath — Crown Lane

Morden, SM4
The Challenge

A homeowner on Crown Lane had inherited an original Edwardian cast iron bath that was showing its age. The enamel had worn thin across the entire base, exposing grey patches of bare metal that collected moisture and generated persistent rust stains. Several deep chips around the overflow area — caused by a heavy chrome plug chain — had created entry points for further corrosion. A bathroom fitter had quoted over £2,400 to remove the cast iron bath, dispose of it, repair the surrounding floor tiles, and install a replacement.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Merton treated every corroded area with a specialist rust inhibitor, then rebuilt the chipped sections using high-adhesion filler matched to the original bath profile. The full surface was keyed, degreased, and prepared for our dual bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system, followed by a complete polish and perimeter reseal.

The Result

The bath was returned to a smooth, bright, factory-quality finish with no visible trace of the previous damage. The homeowner preserved their original Edwardian fixture, saved over £2,000 compared to the replacement quote, and avoided the disruption of a multi-day bathroom refit. The repair was completed in a single afternoon with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Scratch Damage — Rental Flat

Colliers Wood, SW19
The Challenge

A letting agent managing a converted Victorian property near Colliers Wood High Street contacted Bath Fixer about a badly scratched and stained acrylic bath in a ground-floor flat. The outgoing tenant had used abrasive cleaners over several years, leaving the surface dull, rough, and marked with deep scratches. Two cracks had also developed near the corner where the bath met the wall panel. The agent needed the repair completed within five days to meet the new tenancy start date.

Our Solution

We stabilised the corner cracks to prevent further spread, sanded down the scratched areas, and filled the deepest grooves with a structural-grade compound. The full surface was prepared, degreased, and primed with our two-stage bonding agents before a fresh white acrylic-compatible enamel was sprayed and infrared cured on site. A waterproof perimeter seal completed the job.

The Result

The bath was transformed from a dull, rough surface to a smooth, glossy finish indistinguishable from new. The letting agent met the tenancy deadline with two days to spare, the cost was a fraction of a replacement, and the repair carried a written guarantee. The agent has since instructed Bath Fixer Merton for three additional rental properties in the area.

How Bath Fixer Merton Restore Your Bath

A step-by-step look at our professional resurfacing process from start to finish

1
Room Protection

Dust sheets are laid across the floor, WC, basin, radiator, and all surrounding fixtures. Existing sealant is stripped away and the entire work area is fully protected before any preparation begins.

2
Clean & Repair

Specialist cleaning agents strip all residue from the bath surface. Every chip, crack, scratch, mineral deposit, and area of corrosion is then repaired individually — structural issues are addressed at this stage.

3
Mask & Degrease

Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are carefully masked. A professional-grade degreasing agent eliminates any remaining oils or contaminants to ensure the bonding agents achieve maximum adhesion.

4
Dual Bonding Application

The first bonding agent is applied and heat-cured. A second primer follows using high-temperature application. This two-stage process — exclusive to Bath Fixer — creates an exceptionally strong adhesion layer between the original surface and the new enamel.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Cure

The colour-matched enamel is professionally sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system. This accelerates molecular bonding and produces a smooth, hard-wearing, factory-quality surface finish.

6
Polish, Seal & Inspect

The finished surface is polished to a high sheen, all masking is removed, and a waterproof sealant is applied around the bath perimeter. A final quality inspection is completed before sign-off and handover.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Merton

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Merton

Professional resurfacing through Bath Fixer Merton typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than removing and replacing your bath. The savings are even greater when you factor in the associated costs of a replacement — disconnecting plumbing, repairing tiles and flooring disturbed during removal, hiring a skip for waste disposal, and the labour involved in fitting the new bath. Resurfacing preserves your existing bath in place and avoids all of that disruption.

Yes — individual chip, scratch, and crack repairs are one of our most common jobs across Merton. Dropped bottles, showerheads, heavy taps, and even falling tiles cause localised damage that can be repaired without touching the rest of the bath surface. We colour-match the repaired spot to the surrounding enamel or acrylic so the repair is virtually invisible once finished.

Bath Fixer Merton repair and resurface every common bath material — enamel-coated cast iron, pressed steel, acrylic, fibreglass, stone resin, and Corian. We also repair and refinish basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, and bathroom suite pedestals. Each material requires its own preparation and bonding technique, and our technicians are trained to handle them all.

A full bath resurfacing is completed in a single visit lasting between four and six hours. This covers surface preparation, damage repair, dual bonding agent application, enamel spray coating, infrared curing, and polishing. The bath can be used lightly after twenty-four hours and is fully cured within forty-eight hours.

The consumer-grade kits sold in hardware stores use materials that lack the adhesion and durability of professional coatings. In our experience, the most common reason homeowners in Merton contact Bath Fixer is to fix a failed DIY attempt — a visible patch, a rough texture, or a finish that has yellowed and begun peeling within weeks. A professional repair costs more upfront but delivers a result that looks right and lasts years rather than weeks.

Bath Fixer covers the whole London Borough of Merton and surrounding areas. Our regular service territory includes Morden, Mitcham, Colliers Wood, Raynes Park, South Wimbledon, Wimbledon, Tooting, and Wandsworth. We also attend properties across the wider South and Southwest London area.
