About Bath Fixer Heathfield

Bath Fixer Heathfield deliver specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Heathfield and the wider East Sussex countryside. Our trained technicians repair everything from hairline chips in acrylic baths to full enamel restoration on cast iron tubs – providing a cost-effective alternative to complete bath replacement that saves our customers both money and disruption.

Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of the damage. Whether the issue is a single chip caused by a dropped showerhead, widespread enamel wear on an ageing bath, or deep cracks that have developed over years of use, we identify the right repair method for the specific material and condition. Acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass – each surface requires a different technique, and Bath Fixer Heathfield have the expertise to handle them all.

What separates Bath Fixer from other bathroom repair companies operating in East Sussex is our two-stage bonding process. Where most firms apply a single primer before the enamel coat, we use two bonding agents cured with a hot air gun to create an exceptionally strong adhesion between the new surface and the original bath. The result is a finish that resists chipping, peeling, and discolouration for years rather than months.

We also provide specialist repairs for sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your home is damaged, cracked, chipped, or worn – there is a strong chance Bath Fixer Heathfield can restore it without the cost of full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair challenges we address in Heathfield are common across the wider area. Property owners in Crowborough and Uckfield face comparable issues with ageing baths, impact damage, and worn enamel surfaces.

Why Heathfield Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Heathfield's housing stock reflects the town's evolution from a small Sussex market settlement into a thriving High Weald community. Edwardian villas and character cottages dating from the early 1900s sit alongside the 1920s and 1930s semi-detached and detached homes that expanded the town during the inter-war years. Post-war estates added further variety in the 1950s and 1960s, while recent decades have seen modern developments on the town's fringes and conversions of rural buildings into residential properties. Each era brought different bathroom fixtures and materials, and each presents its own repair challenges.

The cast iron and pressed steel baths found in Heathfield's Edwardian and inter-war properties are particularly prone to surface chips where the enamel has become brittle with age, rust spots where moisture has penetrated through worn areas, and widespread dulling from decades of cleaning with abrasive products. The hard water common across the East Sussex Weald accelerates limescale build-up, which further degrades bath surfaces over time. In newer properties, acrylic baths are susceptible to impact cracks, scratches, and stress fractures – particularly around the edges where weight is concentrated.

Bath Fixer Heathfield have built our reputation on understanding these distinctions. We do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach – we tailor every repair to the specific material, age, and condition of the surface in front of us. That practical knowledge is the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails within months.

Recent Bath Repairs in Heathfield

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

Edwardian Cast Iron Bath – Mutton Hall Hill

Heathfield, TN21
The Challenge

The owners of a substantial Edwardian property on Mutton Hall Hill had retained their original cast iron bath through two previous bathroom updates but the enamel had finally given way. Years of hard water exposure had left heavy limescale deposits, the base showed deep crazing across the entire surface, and rust had begun bleeding through at the drain end. A local plumber quoted over £2,800 for removal, disposal, tiling repair, and fitting of a replacement acrylic bath – losing the character piece entirely.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Heathfield treated the corroded areas with a specialist rust inhibitor and rebuilt the worn sections using a high-adhesion filler matched to the bath's original profile. The entire surface was stripped back, degreased, and prepared for our dual bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and infrared cured on site, followed by a full polish and perimeter reseal.

The Result

The cast iron bath was restored to a smooth, bright finish with no visible evidence of the previous corrosion or crazing. The homeowners preserved the character of their Edwardian bathroom and saved over £2,100 compared to a full replacement. The repair was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Stress Fracture – Geers Wood Development

Heathfield, TN21
The Challenge

A letting agent managing a rental property on the Geers Wood development discovered a network of stress fractures radiating from a deep impact point in the acrylic bath. The damage had occurred during a tenancy changeover and the agent needed a rapid professional repair to avoid delaying the incoming tenant. Replacing the bath would have meant disconnecting plumbing, lifting surrounding tiles, and a minimum three-day turnaround – unacceptable for the letting schedule.

Our Solution

We stabilised the hairline fractures to prevent further spread, filled the impact point with a structural-grade compound, and sanded the area flush with the surrounding surface. The repaired section was colour-matched to the original white acrylic and blended seamlessly into the existing finish. A protective topcoat was applied and cured on site.

The Result

The repair was completed in under four hours. The letting agent was able to proceed with the new tenancy on schedule, and the bath showed no trace of the original damage. The cost came in at a fraction of the replacement estimate, with a written guarantee covering the work.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

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

1
Protection & Preparation

We dust-sheet the flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and major fixtures. Old sealant is removed and the surrounding area is thoroughly protected before any work begins.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

Specialist cleaning agents remove all residue. We then repair every imperfection – chips, cracks, abrasions, mineral deposits, and erosion. Structural issues are addressed at this stage.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist covering materials. A professional-grade degreaser eliminates any remaining contaminants from the bath surface.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

We apply the first bonding agent, then reinforce with a second primer using high-temperature application. This two-stage process – unique to Bath Fixer – creates an ultra-durable bond with the original surface.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

The new enamel surface is professionally sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system. This accelerates bonding and produces a smooth, hard-wearing factory-quality finish.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Check

We polish the surface to perfection, remove all masking, and apply a protective waterproof sealant to ensure a watertight, secure finish. The bath is inspected before sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bath Repair Heathfield

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Heathfield

Bath refinishing typically saves between forty and sixty per cent compared to the cost of replacing your bath entirely. An original enamel bath – particularly a cast iron model common in Heathfield's older Edwardian and inter-war properties – is a valuable fixture that a cheap plastic replacement simply cannot match. Refinishing preserves the quality of the original while restoring it to a like-new finish, avoiding the disruption of plumbing disconnection, tiling repairs, and waste removal that a full replacement demands.

Yes. Our professional coating system is engineered for use on bathtubs, washbasins, sink pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish your full bathroom suite to match any preferred colour. The only item we advise replacing rather than resurfacing is the toilet, because the abrasive cleaning chemicals and brushes used in regular toilet cleaning will gradually degrade the refinished coating over time.

Absolutely. We routinely repair individual chips, scratches, and small areas of damage on otherwise sound bath surfaces. Dropped tiles, heavy drain stoppers, showerheads, and bottles are the most common causes of impact damage we encounter across Heathfield and East Sussex. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired area blends seamlessly with the surrounding finish.

A standard bath resurfacing appointment takes between four and six hours on site. This includes surface preparation, chip and crack repair, the application of two bonding agents, the enamel spray coating, 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.

Our experience is shaped primarily by the failed DIY repairs we are called to rectify. The kits available from hardware stores use consumer-grade materials that lack the durability and adhesion of professional coatings. They often produce a visible patch, a rough texture, or a finish that yellows and peels within months. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Heathfield costs more than a kit but delivers a result that lasts years rather than weeks.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Heathfield and the wider East Sussex area. Our regular service areas include Heathfield, Cross in Hand, Horam, Burwash, Mayfield, Hailsham, Uckfield, and Crowborough. We also attend properties in neighbouring areas across the Wealden district and beyond.
