Specialist Bath Resurfacing & Enamel Restoration in East Sussex
Bath Fixer Crowborough provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Crowborough and the surrounding East Sussex countryside. Our technicians handle everything from minor surface chips on acrylic baths to comprehensive enamel restoration on original cast iron tubs — offering a practical, cost-effective alternative to full bath replacement that avoids unnecessary expense and disruption.
Every job begins with a detailed assessment of the damage and the bath material. A hairline crack in an acrylic panel bath demands a completely different repair technique to rust pitting on a cast iron roll-top or enamel erosion on a pressed steel tub. Bath Fixer Crowborough carry the tools, materials, and training to work confidently across all these surfaces — acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass included.
The key difference between Bath Fixer and other bathroom repair firms operating in the Crowborough area is our two-stage bonding process. Most companies apply a single primer before their topcoat. We apply two bonding agents, each heat-cured with a hot air gun, creating a bond between the new enamel and the original surface that is measurably stronger and longer-lasting. The result is a finish that withstands daily use without chipping, peeling, or discolouring.
Beyond bathtubs, we restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Crowborough home has been chipped, cracked, stained, or worn down over the years, Bath Fixer Crowborough can almost certainly restore it to a like-new condition without the cost of replacement.
Nearby Areas We Serve: The bathroom repair challenges we encounter in Crowborough are shared by properties across the surrounding area.

See our area-specific guides for tailored information about your location.
Bath Fixer Crowborough use a proprietary two-stage bonding system that delivers a stronger, longer-lasting finish than standard single-primer methods.

Our technicians blend pigments on site to match the precise shade of your existing bath surface. Whether the original white has mellowed to a cream over decades of use or you have a coloured suite from the 1970s, the repaired area integrates seamlessly with the surrounding finish.
Chip repairs and minor restorations are finished within hours. A full bath resurfacing typically takes four to six hours from preparation to final polish, and the bath is ready for use within twenty-four hours. Your household routine is barely interrupted.
Our dual bonding agent system paired with infrared curing produces a hard-wearing, factory-grade surface that resists chipping, peeling, and staining under normal use. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee — we stand behind the quality of our work.
Bath Fixer Crowborough technicians are trained in specialist refinishing techniques for enamel baths, acrylic tubs, pressed steel, stone resin, shower trays, sinks, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. We carry full public liability insurance on every appointment.
Crowborough sits at one of the highest points in East Sussex, on the edge of the Ashdown Forest, and its housing reflects over a century of development. Edwardian villas built during the town's growth as a commuter settlement in the early 1900s sit alongside 1930s semi-detached homes, post-war council housing, and more recent private estates built from the 1980s onwards. Each generation of construction brought different bathroom fittings, different materials, and different repair requirements.
The cast iron roll-top baths still found in many of Crowborough's Edwardian properties are prone to deep enamel crazing, rust spots where moisture has penetrated hairline cracks, and a general dulling of the surface from decades of use. The pressed steel baths installed in the inter-war and post-war housing stock develop chips where the enamel has become brittle, along with staining around the overflow and drain fittings. Newer acrylic baths in the modern developments along Beacon Road and the surrounding estates are susceptible to impact cracks, surface scratches, and stress fractures near the edges.
Bath Fixer Crowborough have the knowledge and equipment to address all of these issues. We do not apply a generic repair method to every bath we encounter — we assess the material, the age, and the specific type of damage before selecting the right technique. That attention to detail is the difference between a repair that holds up for years and one that deteriorates within months.
Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Crowborough and East Sussex area
The owners of an Edwardian detached house on Beacon Road had an original cast iron freestanding bath that had been in continuous use for over ninety years. The enamel had crazed extensively across the base, with several deep rust spots where moisture had worked through the fractured surface into the iron beneath. A bathroom fitter had quoted over £3,400 to remove the bath, repair the surrounding floor and pipework, and install a modern replacement — which the owners did not want, preferring to keep the period character of the room.
Bath Fixer Crowborough treated each rust-affected area with a specialist converter, then rebuilt the surface with a high-adhesion filler that restored the original contour of the bath. The entire interior was keyed, degreased, and prepared for our dual bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were spray-applied and infrared cured, followed by a hand polish and full perimeter reseal.
The bath was restored to a gleaming, smooth finish with no trace of the rust damage or crazing. The owners retained their original Edwardian bath, saved over £2,800 compared to the replacement quote, and avoided a disruptive multi-day bathroom refit. The work was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.
A landlord managing a rental property in Jarvis Brook needed urgent attention on an acrylic bath that had developed two stress fractures along the side panel and a deep scratch across the base. The damage had been flagged during a tenant changeover inspection, and the landlord needed the bath repaired quickly to avoid delaying the new tenancy. A plumber estimated that replacing the bath, reconnecting the plumbing, and retiling the surround would cost upwards of £1,900 and take three days.
We stabilised the stress fractures from behind the panel to prevent further movement, filled the damaged sections with a structural-grade acrylic compound, and blended the repairs flush with the surrounding surface. The deep scratch was levelled, primed, and colour-matched to the original white finish. A protective topcoat was applied and heat-cured on site.
The entire repair was completed in under five hours. The landlord was able to proceed with the new tenancy the following day, and the bath showed no visible evidence of the previous damage. The total cost was less than a quarter of the replacement quote, with a written guarantee covering the finished work.
Step-by-step breakdown of how Bath Fixer Crowborough restore your bath to factory-fresh condition
Dust sheets are laid across the flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and any surrounding fixtures. Existing sealant is removed and the full work area is protected before any repair activity begins.
Professional cleaning agents strip all residue from the surface. Every chip, crack, abrasion, and area of erosion is then repaired individually. Structural damage is addressed at this stage to ensure a sound base.
Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow fittings are masked with specialist covering materials. A professional-grade degreaser is applied to eliminate any remaining contaminants from the bath surface.
The first bonding agent is applied and cured, followed by a second primer applied using high-temperature technique. This two-stage process — exclusive to Bath Fixer — creates an exceptionally strong bond with the original surface material.
The new enamel surface is professionally sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system. This accelerated curing process produces a smooth, hard-wearing, factory-quality finish across the entire bath.
The surface is polished to a high-gloss finish, all masking is removed, and a protective waterproof sealant is applied around the perimeter. The completed bath is inspected before sign-off.

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Crowborough
Professional resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than replacing a bath outright. For the period properties common across Crowborough — many of which still have their original cast iron or pressed steel baths — resurfacing preserves a high-quality fixture that would be expensive and disruptive to remove. There is no need to disconnect plumbing, disturb tiling, or deal with waste removal. The finished surface looks and feels factory-fresh.
Yes. Our professional coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish your entire suite to a uniform colour of your choice. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than resurfacing is the toilet, as the abrasive cleaning products and brushes used in regular toilet maintenance will gradually wear through the refinished coating over time.
Certainly. We regularly repair individual chips, scratches, and localised areas of damage on baths that are otherwise in good condition. In Crowborough, the most frequent causes of chip damage are dropped shower fittings, heavy bottles, and ceramic soap dishes. Our colour-matching technique ensures the repaired section blends invisibly into the existing surface.
A full bath resurfacing typically requires between four and six hours on site. The process covers surface preparation, chip and crack filling, the application of two separate bonding agents, enamel spray coating, infrared curing, and a final polish. The bath is safe for light use after twenty-four hours and fully cured within forty-eight hours.
The majority of our work correcting failed DIY attempts tells its own story. Consumer-grade kits from hardware shops use materials that lack the adhesion, durability, and colour stability of professional coatings. They typically produce a visible patch that yellows, roughens, or peels within months. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Crowborough costs more than a retail kit but delivers a result measured in years rather than weeks.
