About Bath Fixer Battle

Bath Fixer Battle provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout Battle and the surrounding East Sussex countryside. Our technicians restore damaged bath surfaces of every type – from hairline cracks in modern acrylic tubs to full enamel renewal on heritage cast iron baths – offering a practical, cost-effective alternative to ripping out and replacing the entire fixture.

Every job starts with a careful inspection of the damage and the bath material. A chip from a dropped bottle, widespread enamel erosion from years of abrasive cleaning, stress fractures spreading across an acrylic panel – each problem demands a different repair approach. Bath Fixer Battle have the experience to diagnose the issue accurately and apply the correct technique for the surface in front of us, whether that surface is pressed steel, vitreous enamel, acrylic, stone resin, or fibreglass.

The key difference between Bath Fixer and other surface repair firms working in the Battle area is our dual bonding agent system. Most companies apply a single primer coat before spraying the new enamel. We apply two separate bonding agents, each cured with controlled heat, to build an adhesion layer that grips the original surface far more tenaciously. The finished coating resists flaking, discolouration, and impact damage for years rather than months.

Beyond baths, we also repair sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC window frames, granite worktops, and solid surface counters. If a hard surface in your Battle property has been chipped, cracked, scratched, or worn through – the odds are strong that Bath Fixer can restore it without the expense of a full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same kinds of bath repair issues we handle in Battle are found throughout the surrounding area. Homeowners in Hastings and Bexhill face similar challenges with ageing enamel, impact damage, and worn bath surfaces. See our area-specific guides for more information about your location.

Why Battle Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Battle sits at the heart of the High Weald, and its housing reflects centuries of building tradition. Period cottages constructed from local sandstone line the streets near the Abbey, many retaining original features including heavyweight cast iron baths installed during Victorian or Edwardian renovations. Further from the town centre, the 1930s and post-war expansion brought semi-detached and detached houses fitted with pressed steel baths that are now reaching the end of their enamel lifespan.

More recent developments on the outskirts of Battle and in surrounding villages like Netherfield and Catsfield tend to feature acrylic baths and modern shower trays. These surfaces bring their own vulnerabilities – impact cracks from dropped items, stress fractures around weight-bearing edges, and discolouration from chemical cleaning products. The hard water common across the East Sussex Weald accelerates surface deterioration on every bath material.

Bath Fixer Battle understand these local conditions. We adjust our repair approach for the specific material, the age of the installation, and the type of damage present. A cast iron roll-top in a listed cottage demands a very different technique to an acrylic panel bath in a new-build flat. That material-specific expertise is what separates a lasting professional repair from a temporary fix that fails within months.

Recent Bath Repairs in Battle

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

Victorian Cast Iron Roll-Top – High Street Cottage

Battle, TN33
The Challenge

The owners of a Grade II listed cottage near Battle High Street had a freestanding cast iron roll-top bath that had served the household for over a century. Years of hard water exposure had left heavy limescale deposits across the base, the enamel had crazed into a network of fine cracks, and three deep chips around the plug hole had allowed rust to take hold beneath the surface. A local bathroom fitter had quoted £3,400 for removal and replacement – complicated by the narrow doorways and listed building restrictions on altering original features.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Battle treated the corroded areas with a specialist rust inhibitor, rebuilt the chipped sections with high-adhesion filler to restore the original profile, and addressed the crazing with a thorough surface preparation. The full interior was keyed, degreased, and primed with our dual bonding agent system before receiving two coats of colour-matched enamel, infrared cured on site and hand-polished to a smooth gloss.

The Result

The bath was restored to a gleaming, uniform finish with no visible trace of the previous damage. The owners preserved their original heritage fixture, saved over £2,800 compared to the replacement quote, and avoided any listed building consent issues. The work was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Stress Fractures – Netherfield New-Build

Netherfield, TN33
The Challenge

A homeowner in a recently built property outside Netherfield noticed hairline cracks radiating from the corner of their acrylic bath, along with a deep scratch running along the inside wall caused during building work. The developer’s warranty had expired and a replacement bath would have required disconnecting the integrated panel surround, lifting floor tiles, and replumbing – an estimated £1,800 job that would leave the family without a bathroom for several days.

Our Solution

We stabilised each hairline fracture with a specialist acrylic bonding compound to halt further propagation, then filled and levelled the deep scratch using a structural-grade filler matched to the bath’s contour. The affected areas were blended into the existing surface with a colour-matched topcoat and sealed with a protective finish layer cured under infrared.

The Result

The repair was completed in under four hours with the bath ready for use the following evening. The fractures were fully sealed, the scratch invisible, and the homeowner saved over £1,400 compared to a full replacement. No tiles were lifted, no plumbing disturbed, and the family had their bathroom back within a day.

What Our Battle Clients Say

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

Margaret H.
Battle – 10/03/2025

“We had an old cast iron bath in our cottage near the Abbey that was covered in rust spots and flaking enamel. The Bath Fixer technician transformed it completely in one afternoon. The finish is smooth and bright and we cannot believe the difference. Would not hesitate to recommend.”

Chris P.
Sedlescombe – 18/11/2024

“Letting agent for several rental properties around Battle. Bath Fixer repaired chipped acrylic baths in two of our flats on the same day. Professional, tidy, and the tenants were delighted. The turnaround saved us from costly replacements and kept our schedule on track.”

Janet R.
Netherfield – 05/08/2024

“Had a deep gouge in our shower tray that was letting water underneath. Bath Fixer came out within days and the repair is completely invisible. Excellent workmanship and a fair price. Very glad we found them rather than having to tear out the entire tray.”

When You Need Bath Repair in Battle

Common situations where Bath Fixer Battle can save you the cost and disruption of a full replacement

Preparing a Property for Sale

A stained or chipped bath creates a poor first impression at viewings. Bath resurfacing restores the bathroom to a showroom-quality standard at a fraction of the cost of a full refit – adding immediate visual appeal without the delay and expense of major works.

Between Tenancies

Landlords in Battle and the surrounding villages rely on fast turnaround between tenants. A damaged bath can delay a new let. Bath Fixer repair and resurface baths within a single visit, keeping your rental schedule on track and your property looking its best.

After Building Work

Renovation projects often leave baths scratched, chipped, or splattered with plaster and paint. Rather than replacing a bath that was perfectly sound before the builders arrived, a professional repair restores it to its original condition quickly and affordably.

Hard Water Damage

East Sussex’s hard water leaves stubborn limescale and mineral deposits that dull enamel surfaces over time. When regular cleaning no longer restores the shine, a professional resurface brings the bath back to a bright, smooth finish that resists future build-up.

Heritage & Listed Properties

Battle has a significant number of listed and period properties where removing original fixtures may require consent or is simply undesirable. Resurfacing preserves the character of an original cast iron or enamel bath while giving it a fresh, functional surface.

Failed DIY Repairs

Shop-bought bath repair kits rarely deliver lasting results. The consumer-grade materials peel, discolour, and crack within weeks. Bath Fixer regularly correct failed DIY attempts, stripping the amateur coating and applying a professional finish that holds up to daily use.

Common Bath Problems in Battle

The most frequent types of bath damage we encounter across Battle and the surrounding East Sussex area

Enamel Crazing & Wear

The cast iron and pressed steel baths in Battle’s older properties develop a web of fine surface cracks as the enamel becomes brittle with age. Left untreated, moisture works through the crazing and causes corrosion underneath.

Impact Chips & Cracks

Dropped bottles, showerheads, and heavy objects cause chips and fractures on both enamel and acrylic surfaces. A chip that looks minor can expose the substrate to water ingress, accelerating the damage over time.

Rust Spots & Corrosion

Steel and cast iron baths are vulnerable to rust wherever the enamel has been compromised. Orange-brown stains that cannot be cleaned away signal corrosion forming beneath the surface – a problem that worsens steadily if not addressed.

Limescale & Staining

The hard water supply across the Battle area deposits calcium and mineral residue that etches into bath surfaces over time. Professional resurfacing removes the accumulated damage and provides a fresh coating that resists future staining.

Acrylic Stress Fractures

Acrylic baths in newer Battle homes can develop hairline cracks at stress points – typically around corners and edges where the material flexes under weight. Early repair prevents the cracks from spreading and avoids the need for a full replacement.

Peeling & Failed Coatings

Previous amateur repairs or low-quality resurfacing jobs frequently peel and flake. Bath Fixer strip the failed coating back to the original substrate and apply a professional finish with proper adhesion that lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bath Repair Battle

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Battle

Professional resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than a full bath replacement. In Battle’s older properties, removing a bath often means disturbing original tiling, pipework routed through solid walls, and sometimes period flooring. Resurfacing avoids all of that disruption while restoring the bath to a like-new condition, and it is completed in a single visit.

Yes. Our professional coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish your entire suite to a matching colour. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than resurfacing is the toilet, because the harsh cleaning chemicals and abrasive brushes used regularly on toilets will gradually wear through the refinished coating.

Absolutely. Individual chip and scratch repairs are one of our most common jobs across Battle and the surrounding villages. A single chip left unattended allows moisture to reach the substrate, which causes rust on steel baths and delamination on acrylic. Repairing early is far cheaper than waiting until a full resurface becomes necessary.

A complete bath resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site. That covers protection of surrounding surfaces, damage repair, surface preparation, dual bonding agent application, enamel spraying, infrared curing, polishing, and resealing. The bath can be used lightly after twenty-four hours and reaches full cure within forty-eight hours.

Yes. Bath resurfacing is a non-invasive process that does not require removing the bath, altering plumbing, or disturbing any surrounding structure. For the listed and period properties common around Battle, this is a significant advantage – the original fixture remains in place and no building consent is typically required for the repair itself.
