About Bath Fixer Hastings

Bath Fixer Hastings provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Hastings and the wider East Sussex coastline. Whether a bath has suffered a single chip from a dropped bottle or decades of enamel erosion from daily use, our trained technicians deliver a permanent, professional repair that eliminates the need for costly full bath replacement.

Every job begins with a careful evaluation of the damage and the material involved. A cast iron roll-top in a Victorian terrace on the seafront demands a different technique to an acrylic panel bath in a modern flat overlooking Warrior Square. Pressed steel, stone resin, fibreglass, and composite surfaces each respond to different preparation and bonding methods. Bath Fixer Hastings understand those distinctions and apply the correct process for every surface we encounter.

The core of our service is a proprietary dual bonding system that sets Bath Fixer apart from competitors working in East Sussex. Most refinishing companies apply a single primer coat before spraying the new enamel. We apply two separate bonding agents, each cured with controlled heat, to create a far stronger mechanical bond between the original surface and the new coating. The result is a finish that holds up to daily wear, resists peeling and discolouration, and carries a written guarantee.

Beyond baths, Bath Fixer Hastings also repair sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, granite worktops, uPVC frames, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your home has been chipped, cracked, scratched, or dulled through years of wear, our specialists can almost certainly restore it at a fraction of the replacement cost.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The bathroom repair challenges we encounter in Hastings are mirrored across neighbouring coastal towns. Homeowners in St Leonards-on-Sea and Bexhill-on-Sea deal with comparable issues around ageing enamel, impact damage, and hard water staining.

Durable, Guaranteed Finish

Our dual bonding agent system paired with infrared curing delivers a factory-standard surface that stands up to daily use. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee. The coating resists chipping, staining, and peeling for years – not months.

Why Hastings Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Hastings has a remarkably varied housing stock shaped by its long history as both a fishing port and a Victorian seaside resort. The narrow lanes of the Old Town contain fishermen's cottages dating back centuries, many retaining small, compact bathrooms fitted with cast iron baths during the early twentieth century. Along the seafront promenades and up into the Gensing and Maze Hill districts, tall Victorian and Edwardian terraces present their own challenges – original enamel baths softened by over a hundred years of daily use, rust bleeding through where moisture has found a path, and crazing across surfaces that have expanded and contracted through countless seasonal temperature changes.

Further inland, the estates of Hollington, Ore, and Silverhill are dominated by post-war housing built during the 1950s and 1960s, where pressed steel baths with factory-applied enamel are standard. These baths chip readily once the surface hardens with age, and the hard water common in this part of East Sussex accelerates staining around drains and overflow outlets. Newer developments and buy-to-let conversions across the town tend to feature acrylic baths – lighter and cheaper to install, but prone to impact cracks, scratching, and stress fractures where edges bear repeated weight.

Bath Fixer Hastings have developed our reputation by adapting to every one of these scenarios. We assess each surface on its own terms and select the right combination of preparation, filler, primer, and topcoat for the specific material and damage type. That targeted approach is the difference between a repair that endures and one that starts peeling within weeks.

Recent Bath Repairs in Hastings

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

Victorian Cast Iron Bath – Old Town

Hastings, TN34
The Challenge

A homeowner in one of the tall, narrow fisherman's cottages along All Saints Street had inherited a heavy cast iron bath that dated to at least the 1920s. The enamel had dulled to a rough, yellowish finish with deep rust patches spreading outward from worn spots around the tap end and overflow. Three separate chips – likely from decades of use in a cramped bathroom – had exposed bare metal. A local bathroom company quoted over £3,000 to remove the bath (which was too heavy for the staircase) and crane a replacement through a window.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Hastings treated the corroded areas with a specialist rust inhibitor before rebuilding the damaged profiles with a high-adhesion filler compound. The entire surface was keyed, degreased, and treated with our dual bonding agent system. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured with infrared heat on site, followed by a full polish and fresh perimeter seal.

The Result

The bath was restored to a smooth, bright white finish with no trace of the previous rust or chip damage. The owner saved well over £2,500 compared to the replacement quote and avoided weeks of disruption in a listed building where any structural work requires additional permissions. The repair was completed in a single day with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Stress Fracture – Hollington

Hastings, TN38
The Challenge

A landlord managing a rental property in a 1990s development off Wishing Tree Road reported a visible stress crack running along the base of the acrylic bath, accompanied by hairline spider-web fractures spreading from the point of impact. The damage had occurred during tenancy and the property needed to be turned around quickly for new occupants. Full replacement would have meant a minimum four-day disruption including plumbing, tiling, and waste removal.

Our Solution

We stabilised each fracture line to halt further propagation, then filled and levelled the stress crack with a structural-grade bonding compound. The entire damaged zone was sanded smooth, colour-matched to the original white acrylic, and sealed with a protective topcoat that was cured on site using our infrared system.

The Result

The entire repair was completed in under five hours. The landlord was able to hand the property over to the new tenant on schedule without any visible evidence of the previous damage. The cost was a small fraction of a replacement estimate, and the repair carries a written guarantee from Bath Fixer.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

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

1
Protection & Preparation

We sheet the flooring, basin, WC, radiators, and all nearby fixtures with protective coverings. Any old sealant is removed and the surrounding area is fully prepared before repair work begins.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

Professional cleaning agents strip away residue, limescale, and contaminants. We then address every imperfection – chips, cracks, abrasions, and erosion – before proceeding to the bonding stage.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

Tiles, walls, taps, the drain, and overflow are masked using specialist materials. A professional degreasing agent is applied to ensure the surface is completely free of oils and soap film before coating.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

The first bonding agent is applied, followed by a second primer cured at high temperature. This two-stage process – distinctive to Bath Fixer – builds an exceptionally strong adhesion layer between the original surface and the new enamel.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

The new enamel surface is professionally sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system. This controlled process accelerates the chemical bond and produces a smooth, resilient factory-quality surface.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Check

The surface is polished to a high sheen, all masking is removed, and a waterproof sealant is applied around the bath edge. A thorough inspection is completed before we sign off the work.

What Our Hastings Clients Say

Feedback from homeowners and landlords who have used Bath Fixer in East Sussex

Martin R.
Old Town, Hastings – 10/02/2025

"Bath Fixer restored our old Victorian roll-top in the Old Town. The enamel was badly worn and stained after decades of use. The technician spent a full day on it and the result is stunning – smooth, bright, and exactly the right shade. Really impressed with the quality of the work."

Julie C.
Silverhill – 18/11/2024

"Ilia repaired a deep crack in our acrylic bath that I thought was beyond saving. He arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and the repair is completely invisible. Saved us hundreds compared to replacing the whole unit. Would absolutely use Bath Fixer again without hesitation."

Kevin P.
Warrior Square – 05/08/2024

"We manage several rental flats along the seafront and Bath Fixer have handled multiple tenant-changeover repairs for us. Consistent quality every single time, fair pricing, and they always fit around our letting schedule. An essential contact for any Hastings landlord."

Frequently Asked Questions – Bath Repair Hastings

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Hastings

Refinishing your bath typically costs forty to sixty per cent less than ripping it out and fitting a new one. For period properties in Hastings – particularly those with original cast iron or roll-top baths – replacement also means disturbing tiling, disconnecting plumbing, and potentially damaging the surrounding floor or wall surfaces. Refinishing preserves the character of the original fixture while restoring it to a factory-fresh appearance, all without the upheaval of a multi-day bathroom refit.

We can. Our professional coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We are able to refinish a complete bathroom suite to any colour you choose. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than resurfacing is the toilet – the harsh cleaning products and abrasive brushes used on toilets will gradually wear through a refinished surface over time.

Yes, and it is one of our most frequently requested services across Hastings. A dropped showerhead, a falling tile, or a heavy bottle can leave a visible chip on an otherwise sound bath surface. We repair individual chips, scratches, and localised damage using precision colour-matching techniques that blend the repaired section seamlessly into the surrounding enamel or acrylic.

A full bath resurfacing visit usually takes between four and six hours from start to finish. That time covers surface preparation, chip and crack repair, application of our two bonding agents, the enamel spray coating, infrared curing, and a final polish. The bath can be used lightly after twenty-four hours and reaches full cure within forty-eight hours.

The majority of DIY repair kits we come across in Hastings are the ones we have been called out to fix. Consumer products from hardware shops rely on materials that lack the adhesion and durability of professional coatings. They tend to produce a noticeable patch, a rough texture, or a surface that yellows and lifts within months. A professional repair from Bath Fixer Hastings costs more than a kit but delivers a result measured in years rather than weeks.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Hastings and the wider East Sussex coast. Our regular service areas include Hastings Old Town, St Leonards-on-Sea, Silverhill, Ore, Hollington, Bexhill-on-Sea, Battle, Fairlight, and Sedlescombe.
