About Bath Fixer Polegate

Bath Fixer Polegate deliver specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Polegate and the wider East Sussex area. 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 assessment of the damage. Whether the issue is a single chip from a dropped showerhead, widespread enamel deterioration on an ageing bath, or structural cracks that have worsened over years of daily use, we identify the correct 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 Polegate have the expertise to handle them all.

What sets Bath Fixer apart from other bathroom repair companies operating across 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 Polegate can restore it without the cost of full replacement.

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

Why Polegate Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Polegate's housing stock reflects the town's evolution from a small railway settlement in the 1840s to a thriving residential community on the edge of the South Downs. The older Victorian and Edwardian cottages near the High Street and station sit alongside the extensive inter-war semi-detached estates that spread outward during the 1920s and 1930s. Post-war council housing from the 1950s and 1960s, together with modern developments like the Bluebell Estate, complete the mix. Each era brought different bathroom fixtures and materials, and each presents its own repair challenges.

The pressed steel and enamel baths found in Polegate's inter-war and post-war properties are 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 acrylic baths fitted during renovations and installed in newer builds are susceptible to impact cracks, scratches, and stress fractures — particularly around the edges where weight is concentrated.

Bath Fixer Polegate 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 Polegate and East Sussex area

Pressed Steel Bath Restoration — Pevensey Road

Polegate, BN26
The Challenge

A retired couple living in a 1950s semi-detached house on Pevensey Road had been putting up with a badly deteriorated pressed steel bath for several years. The enamel had worn through along the base and around the drain, exposing bare metal that produced spreading rust stains each time the bath was filled. A series of chips along the tap end — caused by a dropped ceramic soap dish years earlier — had allowed moisture to penetrate further beneath the surface. A local plumber had quoted over £2,400 for a full bath replacement including tiling repairs and waste disposal.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Polegate treated all corroded areas with a specialist rust converter and stabiliser, then rebuilt the damaged sections with a high-adhesion filler to restore the original profile. The entire bath 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 Result

The bath was returned to a smooth, bright finish with no visible evidence of the previous corrosion or chip damage. The couple saved over £1,900 compared to a full replacement and avoided the disruption of a multi-day bathroom refit. The repair was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair — Bluebell Estate

Polegate, BN26
The Challenge

A landlord managing a rental property on the Bluebell Estate contacted Bath Fixer after a departing tenant reported a deep impact crack and several hairline fractures in the acrylic bath. The damage had spread from a central point of impact, and the landlord needed a fast, reliable repair before the new tenancy began. Replacing the bath would have meant disconnecting plumbing, lifting tiles, and at least a three-day turnaround — unacceptable given the letting schedule.

Our Solution

We stabilised the hairline fractures to prevent further spread, filled the central 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 landlord 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 Polegate 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.

Christine M.
Polegate — 10/02/2025

"Excellent service from start to finish. The technician arrived on time, explained the process clearly, and worked methodically throughout the day. Our old enamel bath had several deep chips and rust patches — you would never know now. The finish is smooth and looks factory-fresh. Very pleased with Bath Fixer."

Graham T.
Wannock — 18/11/2024

"Called Bath Fixer after getting a quote of over two thousand pounds to replace the bath in our rental property. The resurfacing was done in one day and the result is outstanding — tenants are delighted. Saved a fortune and avoided weeks of disruption. Highly recommend the team."

Linda P.
Willingdon — 05/08/2024

"Ilia repaired three chips and a long scratch on our acrylic bath. He was polite, tidy, and the colour match is perfect — you genuinely cannot see where the damage was. The whole job took about two hours and the bath was ready to use the next day. Would absolutely use Bath Fixer again."

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Polegate

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Polegate

Bath resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than a full bath replacement. It preserves the original fixture — particularly valuable for cast iron baths that are far superior to modern plastic alternatives — and avoids the disruption of disconnecting plumbing, removing tiles, and disposing of the old bath. Most resurfacing work is completed in a single day with the bath ready for use within twenty-four hours.

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 recommend 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, tiles, and heavy drain stoppers are the most common causes of impact damage we see across Polegate and East Sussex. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired section blends invisibly with the existing finish.

A standard full bath resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site. This covers 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.

Our experience is shaped primarily by the failed DIY repairs we are called to correct. 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 Polegate costs more than a kit but delivers a result that lasts years rather than weeks.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Polegate and the wider East Sussex area. Our regular service areas include Polegate, Willingdon, Wannock, Stone Cross, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Pevensey, and Hampden Park. We also attend properties across the Wealden district and into neighbouring areas of Sussex.
