About Bath Fixer Burghfield Common

Bath Fixer Burghfield Common provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration services throughout Burghfield Common and the wider West Berkshire area. Whether it is a hairline chip on an acrylic bath in one of the village's newer estates or a full enamel restoration on a cast iron tub in an older cottage, our trained technicians identify the right method for every material and every type of damage.

Each repair begins with a careful inspection. We assess the material, the extent of the damage, and the condition of the surrounding surface before recommending the most appropriate solution. Pressed steel, acrylic, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass baths all respond differently to repair techniques, and applying the wrong approach leads to poor results. Bath Fixer Burghfield Common have the hands-on knowledge to get it right first time.

The key difference between Bath Fixer and other bathroom repair firms working in Berkshire is our two-stage bonding system. Most companies prime the surface once before applying the enamel coat. We apply two separate bonding agents, each cured with a hot air gun, before the final spray. This creates a significantly stronger bond between the new coating and the original bath surface — and it is the reason our repairs hold up for years rather than peeling or flaking within months.

Beyond baths, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic wall tiles, uPVC frames, granite worktops, and other hard surfaces. If a fixture in your Burghfield Common property is chipped, cracked, stained, or worn, there is every chance Bath Fixer can return it to excellent condition without the expense of replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same kinds of bath damage we repair in Burghfield Common appear regularly across neighbouring villages and towns. Homeowners in Mortimer and Theale face similar issues with ageing enamel, impact chips, and hard water staining. See our area-specific guides for information tailored to your location.

Why Burghfield Common Residents Choose Bath Fixer

Burghfield Common sits on the higher ground above the historic parish of Burghfield, and its housing stock tells the story of a village that grew rapidly during the second half of the twentieth century. A handful of older cottages and inter-war homes remain along the original lanes, but the majority of the village was built from the 1950s onwards — first with post-war council housing, then with the private estates constructed during the 1980s and 1990s that nearly doubled the local population.

The bathrooms in these properties reflect that timeline. Post-war homes often contain pressed steel baths with enamel that has gradually thinned from decades of daily use and cleaning — leading to dull patches, limescale staining that no longer scrubs away, and chips where the protective coating has worn through to expose the metal beneath. The 1980s and 1990s estates typically feature acrylic baths that are lighter and less expensive but prone to impact cracks from dropped objects, stress fractures around the rim, and surface scratches that accumulate over time.

Bath Fixer Burghfield Common tailor every repair to the exact material and condition we find on site. We do not use a generic approach — we assess the bath, identify the correct technique, and apply it properly. That attention to the specifics is what separates a lasting professional repair from a cosmetic cover-up that fails within months.

Recent Bath Repairs in Burghfield Common

Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Burghfield Common and West Berkshire area

Post-War Enamel Bath — Clayhill Road Area

Burghfield Common, RG7
The Challenge

A homeowner in a 1950s council-built property near Clayhill Road contacted us about a pressed steel bath that had deteriorated badly over the previous decade. The enamel along the base had worn completely smooth, leaving a grey, rough surface that stained easily and was impossible to keep clean. A cluster of deep chips around the overflow area — caused by a heavy chrome plug fitting — had allowed rust to take hold beneath the surrounding enamel. A local bathroom fitter had quoted over £1,900 for removal, tiling repair, and a replacement bath.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Burghfield Common treated each rust patch with a specialist chemical converter, then rebuilt the damaged enamel with high-adhesion filler to match the original contour. The entire surface was keyed, thoroughly degreased, and prepared for our dual bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured using infrared, followed by a perimeter reseal and final polish.

The Result

The bath was restored to a bright, uniform finish with no trace of the previous corrosion or chips. The homeowner saved over £1,500 compared to the replacement quote, and the work was completed in a single five-hour visit. A written guarantee was provided on completion.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair — Great Auclum Estate

Burghfield Common, RG7
The Challenge

A landlord managing a rental property on one of the Great Auclum estate roads reported a deep gouge and network of hairline cracks in the acrylic bath. The damage had appeared during a tenancy changeover, and the landlord needed a fast turnaround to avoid losing the incoming tenant. Replacing the bath would have involved disconnecting plumbing, stripping surrounding tiles, and at least three days of work — far too long for the tight schedule.

Our Solution

We stabilised each hairline crack to stop it spreading, filled the gouge with a structural-grade compound, and sanded the area level 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 using our infrared system.

The Result

The repair took under three hours. The landlord was able to hand the property over on schedule, and the bath showed no sign of the original damage. The total cost was a fraction of the replacement estimate, and the work was covered by a written guarantee.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

How Bath Fixer Burghfield Common restore your bath to a factory-quality finish in a single visit

1
Room Protection

We lay dust sheets over the floor, WC, basin, radiator, and all surrounding fixtures. Old sealant is stripped away and the work area is fully protected before any preparation begins.

2
Deep Clean & Repair

Industrial-grade cleaning agents remove all soap residue, limescale, and contaminants. Every chip, crack, scratch, and area of erosion is then repaired individually using specialist fillers matched to the bath material.

3
Masking & Degreasing

Tiles, taps, walls, drain, and overflow are carefully masked. A professional degreaser is applied to eliminate any remaining oils or residues that could compromise the bond between the new coating and the original surface.

4
Dual Bonding Agent System

The first bonding agent is applied and cured, followed by a second primer using high-temperature application. This two-stage process — unique to Bath Fixer — creates the strong, lasting adhesion that single-primer methods cannot achieve.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Cure

Colour-matched enamel is professionally sprayed and then cured using our infrared low-bake system. This controlled curing accelerates the chemical bond and produces a smooth, hard-wearing surface with a factory-grade finish.

6
Polish, Seal & Inspection

The new surface is polished to a high sheen, all masking is removed, and a fresh waterproof sealant is applied around the perimeter. We carry out a final quality inspection before the job is signed off.

What Our Burghfield Common Clients Say

Feedback from homeowners and landlords who have used Bath Fixer in West Berkshire

Helen M.
Burghfield Common — 10/02/2025

"Excellent service from start to finish. Alex arrived on time and was incredibly thorough with the preparation. Our 1960s enamel bath had multiple chips and a patch of rust near the plughole — you would never know now. The colour match is perfect and the surface feels completely smooth. Very happy with the result."

Stuart G.
Burghfield Common — 18/11/2024

"We manage several rental properties around Burghfield Common and have used Bath Fixer three times now. Every job has been done quickly, cleanly, and to a very high standard. The tenants are always impressed and it saves us a fortune compared to ripping out and replacing baths. Highly recommended."

Louise K.
Mortimer — 05/08/2024

"Ilia repaired a deep crack and several chips in our acrylic bath caused by our toddler throwing things into it. He was polite, tidy, and the finished result is genuinely flawless. The whole job took about three hours and you cannot see where the damage was. Would absolutely recommend Bath Fixer to anyone in the area."

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Burghfield Common

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Burghfield Common

Resurfacing your bath typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than a full replacement. It preserves the original fixture — especially important with cast iron or heavy enamel baths that are superior to modern acrylic alternatives. The process avoids the mess and expense of plumbing disconnection, tile removal, and waste disposal that a replacement requires. Most resurfacing jobs are completed in a single visit, with the bath ready for use again within twenty-four hours.

Yes. Our professional colour-matching system allows us to blend the exact shade of your existing bath surface, whether it is a standard white, an off-white that has aged over decades, or a coloured suite from the 1970s or 1980s. The repaired area is finished to be indistinguishable from the surrounding surface. We can also change the colour of your entire bath if you prefer a different shade.

We strongly recommend repairing chips as soon as they appear. On enamel and pressed steel baths, an exposed chip allows moisture to reach the metal beneath, which leads to rust that spreads underneath the surrounding enamel. What starts as a small repair can become a much larger and more expensive job if left untreated. On acrylic baths, untreated cracks can spread under pressure from daily use, eventually compromising the structural integrity of the tub.

A single chip or crack repair usually takes between one and two hours. A full bath resurfacing appointment takes four to six hours, which covers surface preparation, damage repair, the application of two bonding agents, enamel spray coating, infrared curing, and final polishing. The bath is ready for gentle use within twenty-four hours and fully cured within forty-eight hours.

In our experience, the majority of the failed repairs we are asked to fix began as DIY attempts. The kits sold in hardware stores rely on consumer-grade materials that lack the adhesion and durability of the professional coatings we use. They frequently produce a visible patch, an uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and lifts within weeks. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Burghfield Common costs more than a kit, but the result lasts for years and is backed by a written guarantee.
