About Bath Fixer Lewes

Bath Fixer Lewes provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration services throughout Lewes and the wider East Sussex area. Our trained technicians handle everything from isolated chips on modern acrylic baths to full enamel restoration on period cast iron tubs — offering a practical, cost-effective alternative to ripping out and replacing your existing bath.

Each repair starts with a detailed assessment of the damage and the bath material. A hairline crack on a fibreglass shower tray requires a fundamentally different technique to rust corrosion on a Victorian cast iron roll-top. Acrylic, pressed steel, stone resin, cast iron, and fibreglass — Bath Fixer Lewes have the knowledge and materials to work on all of them, matching the repair approach to the specific surface and condition every time.

The defining feature of Bath Fixer's service is our two-stage bonding system. Most bathroom repair firms apply a single primer coat before the enamel layer. We apply two bonding agents, each cured with a high-temperature gun, to build an exceptionally strong adhesion between the original surface and the new coating. The outcome is a finish that withstands daily use without chipping, peeling, or yellowing for years rather than months.

Beyond baths, we also repair sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Lewes property is damaged, cracked, chipped, or worn — there is every chance Bath Fixer Lewes can restore it without the expense or disruption of a full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair challenges we address in Lewes are found across the surrounding East Sussex towns. Property owners in Brighton and Seaford encounter comparable issues with ageing enamel, impact damage, and worn bath surfaces. See our area-specific guides for detailed information about your location.

Most chip repairs and minor restorations are finished within a single visit. Full bath resurfacing typically takes four to six hours on site, with the bath ready for use within twenty-four hours. Minimal disruption to your daily routine or tenancy schedule.

Lasting Finish Guaranteed

Our dual bonding agent system and infrared curing process produce a factory-quality finish that stands up to daily use without chipping, peeling, or staining. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee. The result is a surface that looks and feels new for years to come.

Fully Trained Specialists

Bath Fixer Lewes technicians are fully trained in specialist refinishing across enamel baths, acrylic tubs, pressed steel, stone resin, shower trays, sinks, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. We carry full public liability insurance for every job we undertake.

Why Lewes Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Lewes is one of the most historically rich towns in Sussex, and its housing stock reflects centuries of development. The narrow lanes of the town centre are lined with Georgian and medieval townhouses, many Grade II listed, featuring original bathroom fittings that are irreplaceable in character and quality. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas like Wallands, Southover, and the Pells have their own distinct bath types — predominantly cast iron and pressed steel — while the more recent developments along the river corridor and at Southdowns Park feature modern acrylic and composite fixtures.

The cast iron baths found in Lewes's older properties are particularly prone to enamel wear where decades of use and abrasive cleaning products have thinned the surface, exposing bare metal that corrodes when moisture settles. The pressed steel baths common in mid-century homes chip more easily around the tap end and overflow, while acrylic baths in newer builds are vulnerable to impact cracks and stress fractures from concentrated weight along the edges.

Bath Fixer Lewes have developed our approach around these local distinctions. We assess every bath individually — material, age, condition, and damage type — and apply the repair method best suited to that specific surface. That diagnostic precision is the difference between a repair that endures and one that fails within months.

Recent Bath Repairs in Lewes

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

Georgian Cast Iron Bath — Southover High Street

Lewes, BN7
The Challenge

The owner of a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Southover High Street had an original cast iron roll-top bath that had served the property for well over a century. Years of limescale accumulation and cleaning with abrasive products had stripped large sections of enamel down to bare metal. Rust blooms had spread across the base and up the sides, and several deep chips around the waste end had exposed raw iron. A bathroom fitter quoted over £3,500 for removal, new tiling, plumbing modifications, and a replacement bath — with the added complication of listed building restrictions on structural changes.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Lewes treated all corroded areas with a specialist rust converter, then rebuilt the damaged enamel profile using a high-adhesion filler. The full interior surface was keyed, degreased, and prepared for our dual bonding agent process. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured using our infrared system, followed by a meticulous polish and perimeter reseal.

The Result

The bath was restored to a bright, smooth finish with no visible trace of the previous rust or chip damage. The homeowner preserved the character of the original fitting, saved over £3,000 compared to a replacement, and avoided the complications of altering a listed property. The repair was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair — Southdowns Park

Lewes, BN7
The Challenge

A landlord managing a two-bedroom flat in the Southdowns Park development contacted Bath Fixer after a departing tenant left a cracked acrylic bath. A heavy object had caused a deep impact fracture near the centre of the bath, with hairline cracks radiating outward from the point of impact. The property was due for re-letting within ten days, and replacing the bath would have required a plumber, tiler, and a minimum five-day turnaround — well beyond the available window.

Our Solution

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

The Result

The repair was completed in under four hours. The landlord met the re-letting deadline comfortably, the new tenant moved in on schedule, and the bath showed no evidence of the original damage. The total cost was 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 Lewes restore your bath to factory-fresh condition

1
Protection & Preparation

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

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

Professional cleaning agents remove all soap scum, limescale, and residue. Every imperfection — chips, cracks, abrasions, mineral deposits, and erosion — is repaired and structural issues addressed.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist covering materials. A professional-grade degreaser is applied to eliminate 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 a pristine finish, remove all masking, and apply a protective waterproof sealant to ensure a watertight, secure result. The bath is inspected before sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Lewes

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Lewes

Resurfacing your bath typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than ripping out the existing bath and fitting a new one. In Lewes, where many homes are period properties with original cast iron or pressed steel baths, replacement often involves disturbing period tiling, reconfiguring plumbing, and repairing surrounding surfaces. Resurfacing preserves the quality and character of your original bath while restoring it to a factory-fresh finish in a single day.

Yes. Our professional coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, sink pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish your complete bathroom suite and match any colour you choose. The only fixture we advise replacing rather than resurfacing is the toilet, as the abrasive cleaning chemicals and brushes used in regular toilet maintenance will gradually wear through a refinished coating over time.

Absolutely. We carry out individual chip, scratch, and crack repairs on otherwise sound bath surfaces every week. Dropped bottles, showerheads, and heavy fittings are the most frequent causes of impact damage across Lewes and East Sussex. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired area blends invisibly with the existing finish, regardless of the age or shade of the original surface.

A standard full bath resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site. That covers surface preparation, chip and crack repair, dual bonding agent application, 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.

A significant proportion of our work involves correcting failed DIY repairs. The kits sold in hardware stores use consumer-grade materials that lack the adhesion and durability of professional coatings. They frequently produce a visible patch, an uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and lifts within weeks. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Lewes costs more than a kit but delivers a result that lasts years rather than days.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Lewes and the wider East Sussex area. Our regular service areas include Lewes town centre, Southover, Wallands, Cliffe, Malling, Ringmer, Ditchling, Seaford, Newhaven, and Uckfield.
