Professional Bath Resurfacing & Enamel Restoration Across East Sussex
Bath Fixer Peacehaven deliver specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Peacehaven and the wider East Sussex coastline. 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 process starts with a detailed inspection of the damage. Whether the issue is a single chip caused by a dropped bottle, general enamel deterioration on a bath that has seen decades of daily use, or structural cracks that have spread across the surface over time, we select the appropriate repair method for the specific material and condition. Acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass — each surface demands a different technique, and Bath Fixer Peacehaven have the expertise to handle them all.
What separates Bath Fixer from other bathroom repair companies operating along the Sussex coast 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 Peacehaven can restore it without the cost of full replacement.
Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair challenges we address in Peacehaven are common across the surrounding coastal towns. Property owners in Newhaven and Saltdean face comparable issues with ageing baths, impact damage, and worn enamel surfaces. See our area-specific guides for detailed information about your location.
Bath Fixer Peacehaven use a proprietary two-stage bonding system that delivers a stronger, longer-lasting finish than standard single-primer methods.

Our technicians match the exact shade of your existing bath surface using professional-grade colour blending. The repaired area integrates seamlessly with the surrounding finish — even on aged or discoloured enamel where the original white has shifted tone over decades of coastal exposure.
Most bath chip repairs and minor restorations are completed within a single visit. Full bath resurfacing typically takes four to six hours on site, and the bath is ready for use within twenty-four hours. Minimal disruption to your household routine.
Our dual bonding agent system and infrared curing process produce a factory-quality finish that resists chipping, peeling, and staining. Every repair carries a written guarantee. The result is a bath surface that looks and feels new for years to come.
Bath Fixer Peacehaven 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.
Peacehaven's housing stock is shaped by its origins as a planned coastal settlement founded in 1916. The earliest homes date from the 1920s and 1930s — modest bungalows and chalet-style properties laid out on the distinctive grid-pattern streets south of the A259. Post-war expansion through the 1950s and 1960s added semi-detached houses, detached family homes, and further bungalow developments stretching towards Telscombe Cliffs and northward towards the South Downs. More recent construction from the 1990s onwards has introduced modern townhouses and apartment complexes, particularly along the seafront corridor.
The pressed steel and enamel baths commonly found in Peacehaven's mid-century bungalows are prone to surface chips where the enamel has become brittle with age, rust spots where moisture has penetrated through worn areas, and general dulling from decades of cleaning with abrasive products. The salt-laden coastal air along the cliff-top properties accelerates corrosion on any exposed metal beneath damaged enamel. Acrylic baths in newer builds and bathroom renovations are susceptible to impact cracks, scratches, and stress fractures — particularly around the edges where weight is concentrated.
Bath Fixer Peacehaven 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.
Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Peacehaven and East Sussex coast
A retired couple in a 1950s semi-detached house on Hoddern Avenue had been putting off dealing with their deteriorating bathroom for years. The original pressed steel bath had extensive enamel wear along the base and sides, with several rust patches visible where moisture had worked through the damaged surface. A bathroom fitter had quoted over £2,600 to remove the bath, retile the surround, and install a replacement — cost and disruption the homeowners wanted to avoid.
Bath Fixer Peacehaven treated the corroded areas with a specialist rust converter and rebuilt the affected sections using a high-adhesion filler to restore the original bath profile. The entire surface was keyed, 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 bath was restored to a bright, smooth finish with no trace of the previous corrosion or wear. The couple saved over £2,100 compared to a full replacement and avoided the disruption of a multi-day bathroom refit. The entire job was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.
A landlord managing a rental property in Telscombe Cliffs contacted Bath Fixer after a departing tenant reported a deep crack and surrounding stress fractures in the acrylic bath. The damage appeared to have developed gradually from weight concentration along one edge. With a new tenancy due to start the following week, the landlord needed a fast professional repair. A full replacement would have meant a minimum three-day turnaround involving plumbing disconnection and tiling work — incompatible with the letting schedule.
We stabilised the stress fractures to prevent further spread, filled the crack 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 into the existing finish. A protective topcoat was applied and cured on site to provide additional resilience.
The repair was completed in under four hours. The landlord was able to proceed with the new tenancy on schedule, and the bath showed no sign of the original damage. The cost came in at a fraction of the replacement estimate, with a written guarantee covering the work.
A homeowner renovating a detached property near South Coast Road had inherited a cast iron roll-top bath with significant enamel crazing, widespread yellowing, and several deep chips around the plug area. They wanted to keep the original bath as a feature piece rather than replace it with a modern acrylic alternative, but the surface condition was too poor to simply clean and live with.
Bath Fixer Peacehaven carried out a full strip-back of the degraded enamel, repaired all chips and surface imperfections with specialist fillers, and applied our dual bonding agent system before spraying a fresh enamel coat in the homeowner's chosen white. Infrared curing ensured complete adhesion, and the bath was polished and sealed to a factory-quality standard.
The cast iron bath was transformed — bright, smooth, and free of any visible defects. The homeowner was able to retain the character of the original fixture while achieving a surface finish indistinguishable from new. The restoration saved a considerable sum compared to sourcing a replacement cast iron bath and the associated plumbing and installation costs.
The owner of a 1960s chalet bungalow overlooking the cliffs wanted to refresh the bathroom without a full renovation. The ceramic shower tray had developed a network of fine cracks across the base, and the pedestal basin showed deep chips on the rim and bowl. Both fixtures were in structurally sound condition but looked tired and uninviting.
We repaired all cracks and chips on both fixtures, applied our dual bonding system, and sprayed a matching white enamel coat across the shower tray and basin. Both were infrared cured and polished to a consistent finish. The surrounding sealant was replaced to complete the job.
Both fixtures were restored to a bright, uniform finish in a single visit. The homeowner achieved the refreshed bathroom they wanted without the upheaval or expense of stripping out and replacing the existing fittings. A written guarantee covered both repairs.
Step-by-step breakdown of how Bath Fixer Peacehaven restore your bath to factory-fresh condition
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.
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.
Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist covering materials. A professional-grade degreaser eliminates any remaining contaminants from the bath surface.
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.
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.
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.

"Fantastic service from start to finish. The technician was on time, very professional, and took real care with our bathroom. The bath had several deep chips from years of wear and the finished result is remarkable — you would never know there had been any damage. Highly recommend Bath Fixer."
"Called Bath Fixer after a tile fell onto our bath and left a nasty gouge. Ilia came out within days and repaired it perfectly. The colour match is spot on and the repair is completely smooth to the touch. Great communication throughout and very fair pricing. Would use again without hesitation."
"We had our 1960s cast iron bath resurfaced rather than replaced and the result is stunning. Alex was thorough, tidy, and explained every step of the process. The bath looks better than new and we saved a fortune compared to ripping it out. Would not hesitate to recommend Bath Fixer to anyone."

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Peacehaven
Bath resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than replacing the bath entirely. For many Peacehaven properties — particularly the chalet bungalows and semi-detached homes built in the 1930s through 1960s — removing an existing bath means disconnecting plumbing, lifting tiles, repairing surrounding walls, and disposing of the old unit. Resurfacing avoids all of that disruption while restoring the bath to a like-new finish in a single visit.
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 fixture we advise replacing rather than resurfacing is the toilet, because the abrasive cleaning chemicals and brushes used in regular toilet maintenance will gradually degrade the refinished coating over time.
Absolutely. We regularly repair individual chips, scratches, and localised damage on otherwise sound bath surfaces. Dropped bottles, showerheads, ceramic soap dishes, and heavy drain stoppers are the most common causes of impact damage we encounter across Peacehaven and the surrounding coastal area. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired area blends seamlessly with the existing 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.
Properties along the Peacehaven and Telscombe Cliffs coastline are exposed to salt-laden air that can accelerate corrosion on any exposed metal beneath damaged enamel. If a chip or crack in an enamel bath is left untreated, the underlying steel or cast iron is more likely to develop rust in a coastal property than an inland one. Addressing damage promptly is particularly important in cliff-top and seafront homes. Our dual bonding system creates a sealed, protective layer that guards against moisture penetration and salt-air degradation.
Bath Fixer covers the whole of Peacehaven and the wider East Sussex coast. Our regular service areas include Peacehaven, Telscombe Cliffs, Newhaven, Saltdean, Rottingdean, Brighton, Lewes, and Seaford. We also attend properties further afield across East Sussex and into West Sussex.
