About Bath Fixer Bexhill

Bath Fixer Bexhill provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout Bexhill-on-Sea and the wider East Sussex coastline. Our qualified technicians handle everything from isolated chips on modern acrylic baths to complete enamel restoration on heritage cast iron tubs — offering a practical, affordable alternative to tearing out and replacing an entire bathroom suite.

Each job starts with a detailed inspection of the damage and the bath material. A hairline crack in an acrylic panel bath demands a different treatment from corrosion on the base of a sixty-year-old pressed steel tub. Acrylic, cast iron, pressed steel, stone resin, and fibreglass — every surface type calls for its own preparation, bonding, and finishing technique, and Bath Fixer Bexhill are experienced across them all.

The key difference between Bath Fixer and other refinishing companies working along the East Sussex coast is our two-stage bonding system. Rather than relying on a single primer coat before the enamel application, we apply two separate bonding agents, each cured using controlled heat, to form an exceptionally robust adhesion layer. This dual-primer method produces a surface that holds firm against everyday wear, resisting chips, peeling, and yellowing far longer than a standard single-coat treatment.

Beyond bath repair, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface counters. If a hard surface in your Bexhill property is chipped, cracked, stained, or worn — there is every likelihood Bath Fixer can bring it back without the expense of a full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The bathroom repair challenges we see in Bexhill are just as common along the coast and inland. Homeowners in Hastings and Eastbourne face similar issues with ageing enamel, worn bath surfaces, and impact damage from daily use. See our area-specific guides for information tailored to your location.

Why Bexhill Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Bexhill-on-Sea developed as a fashionable seaside resort from the late Victorian era, and the town's architectural legacy reflects that heritage. Grand Edwardian villas line the seafront roads near South Cliff and De La Warr Parade, while handsome detached and semi-detached houses from the 1920s and 1930s dominate the Collington, Cooden, and Little Common neighbourhoods. Post-war housing expanded into Sidley and the northern fringes, and more recent developments have added modern estates along the outskirts. Each period of construction brought different bathroom fittings and materials, and each presents distinct repair demands.

The original cast iron baths still found in many of Bexhill's Edwardian properties suffer from decades of enamel erosion — surface crazing, rust spots bleeding through where moisture has reached the iron beneath, and widespread dulling from years of abrasive cleaning. The pressed steel baths installed in the town's inter-war and mid-century homes are prone to enamel chipping around plug holes and tap ends, where repeated contact causes the coating to fracture. In newer builds and renovated bathrooms, acrylic baths develop impact cracks, scratches, and stress marks — particularly along the rim and near the waste fitting.

Bath Fixer Bexhill have developed our service around these local realities. We do not take a generic approach — every repair is matched to the specific material, age, and condition of the bath in question. That depth of practical knowledge is the difference between a refinish that endures and one that deteriorates within months.

Recent Bath Repairs in Bexhill

Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Bexhill-on-Sea and East Sussex area

Edwardian Cast Iron Bath — South Cliff

Bexhill-on-Sea, TN40
The Challenge

A retired couple in a seafront Edwardian villa near South Cliff had an original cast iron roll-top bath that had been in continuous use for over a century. The enamel had crazed badly across the base and sides, with visible rust patches forming where moisture had penetrated the worn surface. Limescale deposits around the taps and overflow had further eroded the finish. A local bathroom fitter had quoted over £3,500 to remove the heavy cast iron tub, repair the period tiling behind it, and install a modern replacement — a cost and disruption the homeowners wanted to avoid.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Bexhill treated all corroded areas with a specialist rust converter and removed the limescale build-up with a professional descaling agent. The crazed and pitted sections were filled, levelled, and sanded to restore the original contour. Our dual bonding agents were applied and heat-cured, followed by two coats of colour-matched enamel spray and a full infrared cure. The bath was sealed, polished, and the surrounding area cleaned.

The Result

The bath was restored to a smooth, gleaming finish with no trace of the previous rust or crazing. The original period fixture was preserved, the surrounding Victorian tilework remained untouched, and the homeowners saved over £2,800 compared to the replacement quote. The full repair was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Holiday Let Shower Tray — Cooden Beach

Bexhill-on-Sea, TN39
The Challenge

A holiday let owner near Cooden Beach needed a rapid repair on a cracked acrylic shower tray. A guest had dropped a heavy bottle, causing a deep impact gouge and two radiating cracks across the tray surface. With the next booking arriving within five days, the owner needed the repair completed without any delay. Replacing the shower tray would have required a plumber, tiler, and at least a week of lead time for parts — none of which fitted the schedule.

Our Solution

We stabilised the radiating cracks with a specialist resin to halt any further spread, then filled the gouge with a structural-grade compound and sanded the repair flush with the surrounding surface. The repaired area was colour-matched to the original white acrylic, blended into the existing finish, and sealed with a durable protective topcoat cured on site.

The Result

The repair was finished within three hours. The shower tray was ready for use well before the next guest arrived, and the damage was completely invisible. The holiday let owner avoided the cost and downtime of a full replacement, and the repair was covered by our written guarantee.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

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

1
Protection & Preparation

We dust-sheet the flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and surrounding fixtures. Existing sealant is removed and the entire work area is carefully protected before any repair begins.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

Specialist cleaning agents strip all residue from the surface. We then address every imperfection — chips, cracks, abrasions, mineral deposits, and erosion. Any structural concerns are resolved at this stage.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist protective materials. A professional-grade degreaser removes any residual contaminants from the bath surface to ensure optimal adhesion.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

We apply the first bonding agent, then reinforce with a second primer using high-temperature curing. This two-stage process — unique to Bath Fixer — creates an ultra-durable bond between the new coating and the original bath surface.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

The new enamel surface is professionally sprayed and cured with our infrared low-bake system. This accelerates molecular bonding and delivers a smooth, resilient, factory-quality finish.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Check

We polish the surface to a high sheen, remove all masking, and apply a protective waterproof sealant to ensure a watertight, secure finish. The bath is fully inspected before handover.

"We had a deep crack in our old cast iron bath that had been getting worse for months. Bath Fixer sent Alex who was brilliant from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Bexhill

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Bexhill

Bath resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than removing and replacing a bath. For many Bexhill properties, particularly those with original Edwardian or Victorian cast iron baths, resurfacing preserves a fixture that is far superior in quality to a modern plastic replacement. It also avoids the disruption of disconnecting plumbing, lifting surrounding tiles, and disposing of the old bath — work that can easily stretch into several days and additional trades.

Yes. Our professional coating system allows us to refinish your bath in any colour you choose. This is a popular option for homeowners in Bexhill looking to update dated coloured suites — avocado, peach, and burgundy baths from the 1970s and 1980s can all be transformed to a clean modern white or any other shade. We can also refinish matching basins, pedestals, and tile surrounds to complete the transformation.

A chip that exposes the material beneath the enamel will deteriorate if left unrepaired. On cast iron and pressed steel baths, exposed metal rusts when in regular contact with water, and that rust will spread beneath the surrounding enamel over time. On acrylic baths, a chip or crack can allow water to penetrate the substrate, leading to discolouration and structural weakening. Repairing a chip early is always more cost-effective than waiting until the damage requires a full resurfacing.

Following a full resurfacing, the bath should be left unused for twenty-four hours to allow the coating to cure fully. Light use is then fine, with the surface reaching full hardness within forty-eight hours. For a chip or crack repair, the curing time is the same — twenty-four hours before first use. We will always confirm the specific aftercare instructions at the end of each appointment.

The majority of our corrective work involves failed DIY repairs using retail kits. These products rely on consumer-grade materials that cannot match the adhesion, durability, or colour accuracy of a professional coating. The typical outcome is a visible patch, an uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and lifts within weeks. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Bexhill costs more than a kit but produces a result that lasts years, not months.
