About Bath Fixer Hailsham

Bath Fixer Hailsham provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Hailsham and the surrounding East Sussex countryside. Our experienced technicians handle every type of bath surface damage – from minor enamel chips on older pressed steel tubs through to complete resurfacing of cast iron and acrylic baths – offering a practical, cost-effective alternative to full bath replacement that saves both money and disruption for homeowners and landlords alike.

Each repair begins with a careful evaluation of the damage and the bath material. Whether the problem is a single chip from a dropped razor, extensive enamel deterioration on a bath that has seen decades of daily use, or stress fractures developing around the base of an acrylic unit, we determine the correct method for the surface in question. Pressed steel, cast iron, acrylic, stone resin, and fibreglass all demand different preparation and finishing techniques, and Bath Fixer Hailsham have the training and equipment to work confidently across every one of them.

The key difference between Bath Fixer and other repair firms working in East Sussex is our dual bonding process. Rather than applying a single coat of primer before the enamel layer – the standard practice across much of the industry – we apply two separate bonding agents, each cured with high-temperature equipment, to build an exceptionally strong bond between the original surface and the new finish. The outcome is a coating that withstands daily use, resists yellowing and peeling, and maintains its appearance for years rather than months.

Beyond bathtubs, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Hailsham home has been chipped, cracked, scratched, or worn through years of use, there is every likelihood Bath Fixer Hailsham can restore it without the expense of a full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair challenges we address in Hailsham are found throughout the wider region. Property owners in Polegate and Heathfield face comparable issues with ageing baths, worn enamel, and impact damage. See our area-specific guides for detailed information about your location.

Why Hailsham Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Hailsham's residential landscape reflects its steady growth from a compact Sussex market town into a thriving community with a broad mix of housing. The town centre retains pockets of Victorian and Edwardian cottages along streets such as Vicarage Lane and George Street, while the surrounding estates built during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s form the backbone of the housing stock – semi-detached and terraced homes that have served families for generations. More recently, large-scale developments at sites off Battle Road, Mill Road, and the Hellingly corridor have added thousands of modern detached and semi-detached properties to the area.

This range of building eras means Hailsham contains an equally wide variety of bathroom fittings and bath types. Older pressed steel baths with factory enamel are still in daily use across many of the town's post-war estates, and these surfaces are prone to chips where the enamel has become brittle, rust patches where moisture has reached the steel beneath, and a general dulling caused by decades of cleaning with abrasive products. The acrylic baths fitted in newer builds and renovated bathrooms face different challenges – impact cracks from dropped objects, stress fractures around the base, and scratches that dull the gloss finish over time.

Bath Fixer Hailsham have built a strong reputation across East Sussex by understanding these material-specific differences. We adapt our preparation, bonding, and finishing approach to suit each surface rather than applying a generic method. That attention to the specific needs of the bath in front of us is the reason our repairs last – and the reason homeowners, landlords, and letting agents across Hailsham continue to recommend us.

Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Hailsham and East Sussex area

Pressed Steel Bath – North Hailsham Estate

Hailsham, BN27
The Challenge

A homeowner on a 1960s estate in North Hailsham contacted us about a pressed steel bath that had developed extensive enamel erosion along the base. Years of standing water and regular use of bleach-based cleaners had worn the factory coating through to the metal in several places, resulting in spreading rust patches and a rough, discoloured surface. A local bathroom fitter had quoted over £1,900 to remove the bath, replace damaged floor tiles, and install a new unit.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Hailsham treated every corroded area with a specialist rust inhibitor, then rebuilt the damaged sections using a high-adhesion structural filler to restore the original contour. The entire bath was keyed, degreased, and taken through our full dual bonding agent preparation. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured using our infrared system, followed by a complete polish and perimeter reseal.

The Result

The bath was restored to a smooth, bright finish with no visible trace of the previous corrosion or surface damage. The homeowner saved over £1,500 compared to the replacement quote and avoided the mess and inconvenience of a multi-day bathroom refit. The entire repair was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair – New-Build Development

Hellingly, BN27
The Challenge

A letting agent managing a recently built rental property near Hellingly reported a deep impact crack in the acrylic bath, along with radiating hairline fractures across the surrounding area. The damage had occurred during the outgoing tenancy, and the agent needed a swift professional repair to avoid delaying the new tenant's move-in date. A full bath replacement would have required plumbing disconnection, panel removal, and a wait for parts – pushing the schedule back by at least a week.

Our Solution

We stabilised the hairline fractures to prevent further spread, filled the main impact site with a structural compound, and sanded the area level with the surrounding surface. The repair was colour-matched to the original white acrylic and finished with a protective topcoat that was cured on site using our infrared equipment.

The Result

The repair was completed in under three hours. The letting agent confirmed the new tenancy started on schedule with no evidence of the previous damage visible to the incoming tenant. The cost was a fraction of the replacement quote, and the work was covered by a written guarantee from Bath Fixer Hailsham.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

Step-by-step breakdown of how Bath Fixer Hailsham restore your bath to factory-fresh condition

1
Protection & Preparation

We lay protective dust sheets over flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and surrounding fixtures. All existing sealant is stripped back and the work area is fully shielded before anything else begins.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Assessment

Industrial-strength cleaning agents remove all limescale, soap residue, and surface contaminants. Every chip, crack, abrasion, and area of erosion is identified and repaired with specialist compounds at this stage.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist covering materials. A professional-grade degreaser is applied to eliminate any remaining residue from the bath surface.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

The first bonding agent is applied, followed by a second primer cured with high-temperature equipment. This two-stage process – a defining feature of Bath Fixer's method – creates an exceptionally durable adhesion between the original surface and the new coating.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

The new enamel layer is professionally sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system. This accelerates the bonding process and produces a smooth, hard-wearing surface with a factory-quality sheen.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Inspection

The completed surface is polished to a high gloss, all masking is removed, and a protective waterproof sealant is applied around the perimeter. The bath is inspected thoroughly before we sign off the job.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bath Repair Hailsham

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Hailsham

Resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than a full bath replacement. Beyond the price saving, you avoid the upheaval of disconnecting plumbing, lifting floor and wall tiles, and disposing of the old unit. For original cast iron or heavy pressed steel baths – common in many of Hailsham's older properties – the existing bath is often a far superior fixture to any modern replacement. Resurfacing restores it to factory condition while preserving the quality of the original.

Yes. We carry out targeted chip and scratch repairs on a daily basis across Hailsham and East Sussex. Dropped bottles, heavy shower fittings, and ceramic accessories are the most frequent causes of isolated impact damage we see. Our colour-matching system ensures the repaired section blends invisibly with the surrounding surface, regardless of the bath material or age.

Absolutely. Our professional refinishing system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish your complete suite to match any preferred colour in a single appointment. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than resurfacing is the toilet, as the cleaning chemicals and abrasive brushes used during regular toilet maintenance will gradually wear through a refinished coating.

A standard bath resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site. This covers full 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 strength within forty-eight hours of the appointment.

A significant proportion of the work we undertake involves correcting failed DIY repairs. The kits sold at high street stores use consumer-grade materials that lack the adhesion and durability of professional coatings. They tend to produce a visible patch, an uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and peels within weeks. A professional repair from Bath Fixer Hailsham costs more upfront but delivers a result that endures for years.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Hailsham and the wider East Sussex region. Our regular service areas include Hailsham, Hellingly, Polegate, Eastbourne, Heathfield, Uckfield, Crowborough, and the surrounding villages.
