About Bath Fixer Brighton

Bath Fixer Brighton provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Brighton and the wider East Sussex coast. From the grand Regency terraces of Brunswick and Adelaide Crescent to the compact Victorian cottages of Hanover and the North Laine, Brighton’s diverse architectural heritage means an equally diverse range of bathroom fixtures — and an equally varied set of repair challenges. Our trained technicians handle every type of bath surface, delivering a cost-effective alternative to full replacement that preserves both money and original character.

Our process starts with a detailed assessment of the damage and the bath material. Whether the problem is a single chip from a dropped showerhead, deep enamel crazing on a period cast iron roll-top, hard water etching caused by Brighton’s notoriously chalky supply, or stress fractures spreading across an acrylic panel bath, we select the appropriate repair technique for the specific surface. Cast iron, pressed steel, acrylic, stone resin, and fibreglass — each material demands a different approach, and Bath Fixer Brighton have the training and equipment to handle all of them.

The key advantage we bring is our proprietary two-stage bonding system. Most competitors apply a single primer coat before spraying the new enamel. Bath Fixer apply two bonding agents, each cured with a hot air gun, to build an exceptionally resilient adhesion layer between the original surface and the new finish. The result is a coating that withstands daily use, resists chipping and peeling, and maintains its appearance for years rather than months.

Beyond bathtubs, we restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tile surfaces, uPVC window frames and doors, granite worktops, and solid surface units. If a hard surface in your Brighton property is cracked, chipped, stained, or worn through, the likelihood is that Bath Fixer can restore it without the expense of a full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom restoration work we carry out in Brighton are in high demand across the neighbouring coastal towns. Property owners in Hove and Worthing face comparable challenges with ageing enamel, limescale damage, and worn bath surfaces. See our area-specific guides for detailed information about your location.

Precision Colour Matching

Our technicians blend custom colour formulations to match the exact tone of your existing bath surface. Whether the enamel has yellowed with age on a period bath or carries a specific manufacturer shade, the repaired area merges seamlessly with the surrounding finish.

Rapid Turnaround

Most individual chip and crack repairs are finished within a single visit. A complete bath resurfacing typically takes four to six hours on site, with the bath ready for use the following day. Ideal for landlords needing fast tenant changeover work in Brighton’s busy rental market.

Durable Finish Guaranteed

Our dual bonding agent system and infrared curing technology produce a factory-standard finish that resists chipping, peeling, and discolouration. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee. The outcome is a bath surface that performs and looks new for years of daily use.

Trained Surface Specialists

Bath Fixer Brighton technicians are trained across the full spectrum of surface refinishing — enamel baths, acrylic tubs, pressed steel, stone resin, shower trays, basins, worktops, and uPVC. We hold full public liability insurance and carry all specialist equipment on every visit.

Why Brighton Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Brighton’s property landscape is among the most architecturally varied of any city on the south coast. The seafront Regency terraces and squares — many now subdivided into flats — contain some of the finest original cast iron and copper baths in the region, dating from the early 1800s through to the late Victorian period. Behind the seafront, the dense terraced streets of Hanover, Elm Grove, and the North Laine are dominated by Victorian two-up-two-down cottages with compact bathrooms where space constraints make full bath replacement impractical and unnecessarily expensive.

Moving inland, the inter-war and post-war estates of Patcham, Hollingbury, and Moulsecoomb introduced pressed steel baths that are now showing their age — chipped enamel, rust staining around waste fittings, and worn surfaces from decades of cleaning with abrasive products. The newer developments along the marina and the eastern seafront feature modern acrylic and composite baths susceptible to impact cracks, scratches, and stress fractures where weight concentrates around the edges.

Bath Fixer Brighton understand these distinctions intimately. We assess every bath on its own terms — the material, the age, the type of damage, and the specific conditions of the property — and apply the repair methodology that will deliver the most durable result. That tailored approach is what separates a lasting professional repair from a temporary fix.

Recent Bath Repairs in Brighton

Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across Brighton and East Sussex

Regency Cast Iron Roll-Top — Brunswick Terrace

Brighton, BN3
The Challenge

The owner of a first-floor flat in a Grade II listed Regency terrace near Brunswick Square had inherited a magnificent but badly deteriorated cast iron roll-top bath. Years of hard water exposure had etched the enamel across the entire interior, leaving a rough, grey surface with visible limescale deposits that no amount of cleaning would shift. Two deep chips near the plug hole had corroded through to the iron beneath, and rust stains had begun bleeding outward. A bathroom fitter had quoted £3,800 to remove the bath through the narrow doorway, repair the original tiled floor underneath, and install a replacement — all subject to listed building consent.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Brighton descaled the entire interior with a specialist acid-free mineral remover formulated for use on cast iron. The corroded areas were treated with a rust converter, then rebuilt with a structural filler to restore the original profile. The full surface was keyed, degreased, and prepared for our two-stage bonding treatment. Two coats of colour-matched ivory enamel were sprayed and infrared cured in situ, followed by a hand polish and perimeter reseal.

The Result

The bath was restored to a smooth, luminous finish that the owner described as better than the day she moved in. No listed building consent was required, no original fabric was disturbed, and the entire job was completed in a single six-hour visit. The saving against the replacement quote exceeded £3,400.

Acrylic Panel Bath — Brighton Marina Village

Brighton, BN2
The Challenge

A landlord managing a two-bedroom apartment at Brighton Marina contacted us after an outgoing tenant reported a deep crack running along the side wall of the acrylic bath, accompanied by several smaller surface scratches and a discoloured area around the overflow. The incoming tenancy was due to start in nine days, and a full bath replacement would have required plumbing disconnection, panel removal, and re-tiling — at least a week of work and significant cost.

Our Solution

We stabilised the main crack using a specialist acrylic welding compound to prevent any further propagation, then filled and levelled all surface scratches. The discoloured overflow area was treated and blended back to a uniform white. A protective topcoat was applied over the repaired sections and cured on site with our infrared system to ensure a hard, even finish across the entire bath interior.

The Result

The repair was completed in under four hours. The landlord was able to proceed with the new tenancy on schedule, and the bath was indistinguishable from a new installation. Total cost was less than a quarter of the replacement estimate, and the work carried a full written guarantee.

Victorian Pressed Steel Bath — Hanover Terrace

Brighton, BN2
The Challenge

A couple renovating a Victorian terraced cottage on the steep streets of Hanover wanted to preserve their original pressed steel bath rather than replace it. The enamel had worn thin across the base from years of use, with several areas where the steel was partially exposed. Scattered chips around the rim — the legacy of careless tile work during a previous renovation — had been crudely filled with a DIY repair kit that had already begun to yellow and peel away.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Brighton first removed the failed DIY patches and cleaned out each chip back to sound material. The exposed steel areas were rust-treated and sealed. We then prepared the entire surface — degreasing, keying, and applying our dual bonding agent system. Two even coats of white enamel were sprayed, infrared cured, and polished to restore a smooth, uniform finish across the full bath interior and rim.

The Result

The bath was transformed from a worn, patchy surface into a clean, bright fixture that complemented the couple’s wider renovation. The failed DIY patches were replaced with a professional finish, and the exposed steel was permanently sealed against moisture. Completed in a single afternoon with a written guarantee.

Student HMO Bathroom Suite — Lewes Road

Brighton, BN2
The Challenge

A property management company responsible for a six-bedroom HMO near the University of Sussex needed two bathrooms refurbished during the summer void period. Both baths — standard acrylic models installed during a 2015 conversion — had accumulated heavy staining, surface scratches, and impact chips from years of student occupancy. The basin in the upstairs bathroom was also badly chipped. Replacing all three items would have exceeded the allocated maintenance budget and extended the void by at least ten days.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Brighton attended over two consecutive mornings. Each bath was deep-cleaned, all chips and scratches were filled and levelled, and a full resurfacing coat was applied using our dual bonding and infrared curing process. The chipped basin was repaired and colour-matched on the second visit. All work was completed within the management company’s summer turnaround schedule.

The Result

Both bathrooms were returned to a fresh, clean condition well within the void period deadline. The total cost for all three fixtures came in at under half the replacement estimate, and the property was re-let on time with no further bathroom expenditure required. All repairs carried a written guarantee.

What Our Brighton Clients Say

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

Claire M.
Brighton — 03/02/2025

“We had a badly chipped cast iron bath in our Regency flat near Brunswick Square. The technician was meticulous with the colour matching and the finish is indistinguishable from new enamel. Saved us from a hugely disruptive replacement in a listed building. Could not be happier with the result.”

James P.
Kemptown — 19/11/2024

“Manage several rental flats along the seafront and Bath Fixer have become our go-to for tenant changeover repairs. Fast turnaround, professional results, and they always leave the bathroom spotless. The team are reliable and easy to work with. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

Hannah R.
Hanover — 14/08/2024

“Our Victorian roll-top bath had years of limescale damage and surface crazing. Ilia restored it beautifully in a single afternoon. The bath genuinely looks better than when we moved in seven years ago. Brilliant service from start to finish and the price was very fair.”

When You Need a Bath Repair in Brighton

Common situations where Bath Fixer Brighton can save you time, money, and disruption

Chipped Enamel From Everyday Accidents

A dropped showerhead, a falling tile, a heavy bottle slipping from the shelf — the most common bath damage we see across Brighton is simple impact chipping. Left untreated, even a small chip exposes the substrate to moisture, accelerating corrosion on steel and iron baths and weakening the surrounding surface on acrylic models. A prompt professional repair seals the damage permanently and prevents it spreading.

Cracks Developing in Acrylic Bath Panels

Acrylic baths — common in Brighton’s newer apartments and marina developments — are prone to hairline and stress fractures, particularly along the side walls and around fixing points. These cracks worsen over time as the material flexes during use. Our specialist acrylic welding and resurfacing process stabilises the damage and restores full structural integrity.

Hard Water Staining & Limescale Etching

Brighton sits on the chalk of the South Downs, producing some of the hardest water in the country. The resulting limescale deposits etch into enamel surfaces over time, leaving rough patches, grey discolouration, and mineral staining that no consumer cleaning product can fully remove. Bath Fixer Brighton use specialist descaling treatments followed by a full resurfacing to eliminate the damage and leave a smooth surface that resists future build-up.

Rust Spots Showing Through Worn Enamel

On the older cast iron and pressed steel baths found in Brighton’s Victorian and Edwardian properties, worn enamel eventually allows moisture to reach the metal beneath. The result is rust spots that bleed through the surface, staining the bath and weakening the surrounding finish. Our repair process converts the rust, rebuilds the damaged enamel, and seals the area permanently to prevent recurrence.

Preparing a Property for Sale or New Tenancy

Brighton’s property market moves quickly, and a tired-looking bathroom can deter buyers or reduce a rental yield. A professional bath resurfacing transforms the centrepiece of the room at a fraction of the cost of a full bathroom refit. For landlords managing the city’s large student and professional rental stock, Bath Fixer offer fast turnaround repairs that fit between tenancies without extending void periods.

Preserving Period Baths in Conservation Areas

Brighton contains over thirty conservation areas and hundreds of listed buildings, many with original bathroom fittings that are integral to the property’s character. Removing and replacing a period bath in these settings often requires consent, involves risk to surrounding historic fabric, and results in the loss of an irreplaceable fixture. Bath Fixer Brighton’s non-invasive resurfacing process preserves the original bath in situ, maintaining both heritage value and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Brighton

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Brighton

Brighton properties frequently contain original period baths that would be extremely costly and disruptive to replace. A Regency or Victorian cast iron bath is a premium fixture that no modern acrylic tub can replicate. Professional resurfacing restores the original to factory condition at a fraction of the replacement cost, typically saving forty to sixty per cent. In conservation areas and listed buildings across Brighton, repair is often the only practical option without triggering planning complications.

Yes. A significant proportion of our Brighton work involves properties within the city’s extensive conservation areas and Grade I and II listed buildings. Bath resurfacing is a non-invasive process that preserves the original fixture in place, which means no plumbing alterations, no tiling disturbance, and no structural modifications. This makes it the ideal solution for period properties where maintaining original features is a planning requirement or a personal priority.

The South Downs chalk aquifer that supplies Brighton produces notably hard water, which causes limescale accumulation, surface etching, and mineral staining on bath enamel over time. Our preparation process includes specialist descaling treatment to remove embedded mineral deposits before resurfacing. We then apply our dual bonding agent system and enamel coat, which creates a smooth, non-porous surface that resists future limescale build-up far more effectively than the original finish.

A standard full bath resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site, including surface preparation, damage repair, dual bonding agent application, enamel spraying, infrared curing, and final polishing. The bath is ready for light use within twenty-four hours and fully cured within forty-eight hours of completion. Individual chip and crack repairs on otherwise sound surfaces are typically completed within two to three hours.

The majority of DIY repairs we are called to correct across Brighton involve consumer kits that have failed within months. These kits use basic materials that lack the adhesion, hardness, and durability of professional coatings. They typically produce a visible patch, an uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and lifts with regular use. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Brighton costs more upfront but delivers a seamless, long-lasting result that avoids the need for repeated touch-ups.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Brighton and the wider East Sussex region. Our regular service areas include Brighton city centre, Hove, Kemptown, Rottingdean, Saltdean, Woodingdean, Peacehaven, Lewes, Newhaven, and Seaford. We also attend properties across Worthing, Shoreham-by-Sea, and the surrounding South Downs villages.

Areas We Cover in & Around Brighton

Bath Fixer provide professional bath repair and resurfacing across Brighton and the wider East Sussex region

Brighton City Centre & North Laine

The heart of Brighton blends Regency elegance with a dense network of Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses, and converted commercial premises. Original cast iron and copper baths are still found in many of these period properties, alongside modern replacements in recently renovated flats. Hard water limescale damage and aged enamel are the most common repair requests in this area.

Book in Brighton Centre
Hove

Hove’s wide avenues of Victorian and Edwardian semi-detached houses and seafront mansion blocks contain some of the largest and most valuable original baths in the area. Many are cast iron roll-tops and deep-sided pressed steel models that would cost thousands to replace. Professional resurfacing is the practical and economical choice for preserving these fixtures.

Bath Repair Hove
Kemptown & Seafront

The Regency squares and crescents of Kemptown house some of Brighton’s finest period interiors, many with original bathroom fittings still intact. The combination of listed building constraints, hard water damage, and the salt-laden coastal air creates particular demand for non-invasive bath restoration in this sought-after neighbourhood.

Book in Kemptown
Rottingdean & Saltdean

These coastal villages east of Brighton feature a mix of characterful period cottages, inter-war detached houses, and 1930s Art Deco properties. The original pressed steel and enamel baths in many of these homes are showing decades of wear, with chipping, surface dulling, and rust staining around waste fittings being the most frequent issues we address.

Bath Repair Rottingdean
Lewes

The historic county town of East Sussex is renowned for its medieval streetscape, Tudor timber frames, and Georgian townhouses. Lewes properties frequently retain original bathroom fittings that homeowners are keen to preserve. Bath Fixer’s non-invasive resurfacing technique is particularly well suited to these heritage settings where removal and replacement would be impractical or unwelcome.

Bath Repair Lewes
Peacehaven & Newhaven

The residential estates of Peacehaven and the harbour town of Newhaven are predominantly inter-war and post-war housing with standard pressed steel and acrylic baths. High rental turnover in parts of Newhaven generates consistent demand for tenant-changeover bath repairs, while Peacehaven homeowners frequently seek resurfacing to refresh ageing bathroom suites without the cost of replacement.
