About Bath Fixer Saltdean

Bath Fixer Saltdean deliver specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Saltdean and the wider East Sussex coastal 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 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 Saltdean 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 Saltdean can restore it without the cost of full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair challenges we address in Saltdean are common across the surrounding coastal villages. Property owners in Rottingdean and Peacehaven face comparable issues with ageing baths, impact damage, and worn enamel surfaces in their 1920s and 1930s housing stock. See our area-specific guides for detailed information about your location.

Why Saltdean Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Saltdean's housing stock is defined by the inter-war development that transformed this coastal valley from open farmland into a thriving seaside suburb. The 1920s and 1930s bungalows and detached houses built by the Saltdean Estate Company — many featuring art deco and Mediterranean-inspired design touches — form the core of the village, with post-war infill through the 1950s and 1960s completing most of the residential streets around the Oval and along the hillsides overlooking the English Channel.

The pressed steel and enamel baths installed in Saltdean's original inter-war properties are now approaching a century old in some cases. These baths are prone to widespread enamel thinning, rust spots where moisture has penetrated worn areas, and surface dulling from decades of cleaning. The salt-laden coastal air accelerates corrosion in properties close to the seafront, making rust damage particularly common in baths along Saltdean Drive and the lower avenues. Acrylic baths fitted during later renovations and in the newer apartment developments are susceptible to impact cracks, stress fractures, and scratches.

Bath Fixer Saltdean 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 bath repair in Saltdean that lasts and one that fails within months.

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

1930s Enamel Bath — Saltdean Vale

Saltdean, BN2
The Challenge

A retired couple in one of the original 1930s bungalows on Saltdean Vale had a pressed steel bath with severe enamel deterioration. The base of the bath was rough and discoloured, with rust patches spreading from two areas where the enamel had completely worn through. Years of hard water deposits from the local chalk-filtered supply had left heavy limescale staining around the taps and overflow. A bathroom fitter had quoted over £2,400 for removal, tiling repair, and a replacement bath — a cost the homeowners wanted to avoid.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Saltdean treated the corroded areas with a specialist rust converter and rebuilt the damaged sections using a high-adhesion filler to restore the original surface profile. The limescale was removed with a professional-grade descaler formulated for use on enamel surfaces. The entire bath 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 trace of the previous rust damage or limescale staining. The homeowners saved over £1,900 compared to the replacement quote and avoided any disruption to their bathroom tiling or plumbing. The repair was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair — Bannings Vale

Saltdean, BN2
The Challenge

A family in a detached house on Bannings Vale discovered a deep impact crack and surrounding star fracture in their acrylic bath after a heavy ceramic soap dish fell from the wall-mounted shelf above. The crack had begun to discolour where water was seeping beneath the surface layer. With young children in the house, the owners needed a fast, hygienic repair rather than the three-to-four day disruption of a full bath replacement.

Our Solution

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

The Result

The repair was completed in under four hours. The bath showed no trace of the original damage, and the family were able to use it the following evening. The total cost came in at a fraction of the replacement estimate, with no disruption to tiling, plumbing, or the children's routine. A written guarantee covered the work.

What Our Saltdean Clients Say

Feedback from homeowners and landlords who have used Bath Fixer in East Sussex

Janet M.
Saltdean — 10/03/2025

"Absolutely delighted with the work done on our 1930s bath. The enamel had worn away badly around the plug hole and along the base. Ilia restored it beautifully — you'd never know there had been any damage. Prompt, tidy, and professional throughout. Would not hesitate to recommend Bath Fixer to anyone in Saltdean."

Richard K.
Saltdean — 18/11/2024

"We had two baths resurfaced in our holiday let near the Lido. Alex was efficient and left both looking factory fresh. The turnaround was fast, which was essential for us between bookings. The quality of finish is outstanding and guests have already commented on how good the bathrooms look. Highly recommend."

Paula S.
East Sussex — 05/08/2024

"Called about a deep crack in our acrylic bath after a tile fell onto it during renovation work. Ilia came out within days and repaired it perfectly — the colour match is spot on and you cannot feel any ridge where the damage was. Very impressed with the quality of work from Bath Fixer Saltdean."

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Saltdean

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Saltdean

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 — 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 bottles, showerheads, and heavy fittings are the most common causes of impact damage we encounter across Saltdean and the surrounding East Sussex coastal towns. 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.

Properties in coastal locations like Saltdean can experience faster deterioration of bath surfaces due to salt-laden air and higher humidity levels. This is particularly noticeable in older properties where bathroom ventilation may be limited. The moisture-rich environment can accelerate rust formation on exposed steel beneath worn enamel and promote mould growth around damaged areas. Our professional resurfacing creates a sealed, moisture-resistant finish that is far more resilient to coastal conditions than the original ageing surface.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Saltdean and the wider East Sussex coastal area. Our regular service areas include Saltdean, Rottingdean, Peacehaven, Telscombe Cliffs, Woodingdean, Ovingdean, Brighton, Newhaven, and Lewes. We also attend properties across the broader Sussex region including Seaford, Eastbourne, and Haywards Heath.
