Specialist Bath Resurfacing & Enamel Restoration for Richmond's Period & Modern Homes
Bath Fixer Richmond upon Thames provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout the borough and its surrounding neighbourhoods. From the grand Georgian properties lining Richmond Hill to the Victorian terraces of East Sheen and the modern riverside apartments along the Thames towpath, our trained technicians adapt every repair to the specific bath material and property style — delivering a cost-effective alternative to full bath replacement.
Our assessment process begins before any tools are unpacked. We inspect the type of damage, the bath material, and the condition of the surrounding surface to determine the most effective repair strategy. A hairline chip on a cast iron roll-top bath demands a very different technique to a stress fracture across the base of an acrylic panel bath. Bath Fixer Richmond upon Thames carry the materials, training, and practical experience to handle both — and everything in between.
The detail that sets Bath Fixer apart from other bathroom repair firms operating across Richmond is our dual-stage bonding system. Most competitors apply a single primer coat before the enamel layer. We apply two separate bonding agents, each heat-cured with a professional hot air gun, to create a far stronger adhesion between the new coating and the original bath surface. The practical difference is a finish that resists chipping, peeling, and discolouration for years — not months.
Beyond baths, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, granite worktops, uPVC door panels, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Richmond upon Thames home has suffered impact damage, staining, or general wear, there is every chance Bath Fixer can bring it back to life without the cost and disruption of a full replacement.

Our technicians blend custom colour formulations to match the precise tone of your existing bath surface. Whether the original enamel has aged to a warm cream or the acrylic is a specific off-white, the repaired area will be indistinguishable from the surrounding finish.
Chip repairs and minor restorations are typically finished within hours. A full bath resurfacing takes four to six hours on site, and the bath is ready for light use within twenty-four hours. Your daily routine is barely interrupted.
Our dual bonding agent system paired with infrared curing produces a surface that rivals the original factory coating. The result resists staining, chipping, and peeling — backed by a written guarantee on every job we complete.
Bath Fixer Richmond upon Thames technicians are trained across every bath material — cast iron, enamel, acrylic, pressed steel, stone resin, and fibreglass. We also repair shower trays, sinks, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. Full public liability insurance covers every appointment.
Richmond upon Thames is defined by its architectural variety. The Georgian townhouses clustered along Richmond Hill and The Green sit alongside Victorian and Edwardian family homes that stretch across East Sheen, Kew, and into Twickenham. Add to that the mansion flats of the early twentieth century, the post-war estates, and the modern riverside developments that have appeared along the Thames corridor in recent decades, and the borough presents one of the widest ranges of bathroom fixtures and materials in London.
The heavyweight cast iron baths found in many of Richmond's Georgian and Victorian properties are prized fixtures — often irreplaceable without significant expense. When their enamel begins to flake, stain, or develop rust spots where moisture has reached the iron beneath, professional resurfacing is the only sensible option. At the other end of the spectrum, the moulded acrylic baths common in newer apartments and refurbished properties are vulnerable to impact cracks, scuff marks, and stress fractures along the base where weight is concentrated.
Bath Fixer Richmond upon Thames have earned our reputation by treating every repair as a bespoke job. We assess the material, the damage, and the surrounding conditions before selecting the appropriate technique — never defaulting to a generic approach. That tailored methodology is what consistently delivers results our customers are genuinely satisfied with.
Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Richmond upon Thames borough
The owner of a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Richmond Hill contacted Bath Fixer about a large freestanding cast iron roll-top bath that had developed extensive enamel flaking across the interior basin. Decades of limescale deposits and abrasive cleaning had worn the original enamel dangerously thin, and rust patches were beginning to bleed through at several points along the waterline. Replacing the bath was not feasible — the doorways in the property were too narrow to remove or deliver a cast iron bath without structural work, and the owner wanted to preserve the original fixture.
Bath Fixer Richmond upon Thames treated all corroded areas with a specialist rust inhibitor and rebuilt the worn sections using a high-adhesion filler compound. The entire interior surface was then keyed, thoroughly degreased, and prepared for our dual bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were professionally sprayed and infrared cured on site. The exterior of the bath and claw feet were cleaned and polished without resurfacing, preserving the aged patina the owner wished to retain.
The interior was restored to a bright, smooth finish with no evidence of the previous corrosion or surface damage. The owner avoided the estimated £4,000-plus cost of sourcing and installing a replacement cast iron bath, and the character of the original fixture was completely preserved. The repair was finished in a single day with a written guarantee.
A property management company responsible for a riverside apartment block in Kew reported a deep stress fracture running across the base of a moulded acrylic bath, accompanied by several surface scratches and a discoloured patch near the drain. The fracture had begun to flex underfoot, raising concerns about a potential leak into the flat below. A quick resolution was essential — the apartment was due for a new tenancy within ten days, and a full bath replacement would have required plumbing disconnection, tiling work, and a minimum two-week lead time.
We reinforced the fracture from beneath using a structural bonding resin to restore rigidity, then filled and sanded the surface crack flush with the surrounding area. The scratches and discolouration around the drain were treated with a targeted preparation and blended into the overall finish. A colour-matched topcoat was applied across the affected zones and heat-cured to seal and protect the repair.
The entire repair was completed in under five hours. The bath was structurally sound, visually flawless, and ready for use ahead of the tenancy start date. The management company saved several thousand pounds compared to a full replacement and avoided the logistical nightmare of coordinating plumbing and tiling contractors in an occupied building.
Feedback from homeowners and landlords who have used Bath Fixer in Richmond upon Thames
“Exceptional work on our Victorian roll-top bath. The enamel had become rough and stained over years of use, and Alex restored it beautifully. He took genuine care protecting the bathroom tiles and left everything spotless. Thoroughly impressed with both the service and the result.”
“Ilia repaired a nasty crack and several chips in our acrylic bath at our rental property in Kew. Arrived on time, finished within a few hours, and the tenants couldn’t believe it was the same bath. Excellent value compared to the replacement quote we’d received. Would use Bath Fixer again without hesitation.”
“We have a large cast iron bath in our period home and the enamel had started flaking badly. Bath Fixer carried out a full resurface and the finish is absolutely stunning. It looks better than when we moved in twenty years ago. Professional service from start to finish — highly recommend.”
