Professional Bath Resurfacing & Enamel Restoration Across East Sussex
Bath Fixer Seaford deliver specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Seaford and the wider East Sussex coast. 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 Seaford 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 Seaford can restore it without the cost of full replacement.
Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair challenges we address in Seaford are common across the wider East Sussex coast. Property owners in Newhaven and Eastbourne 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 Seaford 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 yellowed over decades of use.
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 Seaford 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.
Seaford's housing stock reflects the town's evolution from a quiet Victorian seaside resort to a thriving coastal community. The town centre and streets around Broad Street retain charming Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses and cottages, many built during the late 1800s and early 1900s when Seaford grew as a railway-connected coastal destination. The inter-war period brought substantial expansion with semi-detached houses and bungalows across areas like East Blatchington and the Downs estate, while post-war development added further housing along the seafront and into the surrounding hillsides.
The older enamel and cast iron baths found in Seaford's Victorian and Edwardian properties are prone to surface crazing 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 pressed steel baths common in inter-war and post-war homes develop chips and enamel wear around the waterline. Acrylic baths in newer builds and renovated properties are susceptible to impact cracks, scratches, and stress fractures – particularly around the edges where weight is concentrated.
Bath Fixer Seaford 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 Seaford and East Sussex area
A homeowner in a Victorian terraced cottage near Broad Street had a beautiful original cast iron roll-top bath that had developed extensive enamel crazing, rust bleeding through at the base, and deep staining around the plug and overflow. The bath was a period feature the owner wanted to preserve, but a local bathroom fitter had quoted over £2,800 to remove, dispose of, and replace it – with significant tiling and plumbing disruption involved.
Bath Fixer Seaford treated the corroded areas with a specialist rust converter, then built up the damaged sections with a high-adhesion filler to restore the original 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 returned to a smooth, bright finish with no visible evidence of the previous corrosion or crazing. The homeowner preserved their period feature, saved over £2,200 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.
A letting agent managing a seafront apartment on Marine Parade reported a deep gouge and surrounding hairline cracks in the acrylic bath. The damage had occurred during a tenancy, and the agent needed a fast, professional repair to avoid delaying the incoming tenant. Replacing the bath would have meant disconnecting plumbing, lifting tiles, and a minimum three-day turnaround – unacceptable for the letting schedule.
We stabilised the hairline cracks to prevent further spread, filled the gouge 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 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.
Step-by-step breakdown of how Bath Fixer Seaford 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.

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Seaford
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 tiles, heavy drain stoppers, showerheads, and bottles are the most common causes of impact damage we encounter across Seaford 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 Seaford costs more than a kit but delivers a result that lasts years rather than weeks.
