Specialist Bath Resurfacing & Enamel Restoration for West Berkshire Properties
Bath Fixer Hungerford provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration to homeowners and property managers across Hungerford and the surrounding West Berkshire countryside. From period cottages along the High Street to converted farmhouses on the outskirts of town, our technicians restore damaged bath surfaces to factory-fresh condition — eliminating the expense and upheaval of a full replacement.
Every repair starts with a careful evaluation of the damage and the material involved. A hairline crack in an acrylic bath panel demands a completely different approach from rust-through on a Victorian cast iron tub, and a superficial scratch on a stone resin shower tray requires a different technique again. Bath Fixer Hungerford carry the materials and training to handle each scenario, matching the repair method precisely to the surface and the extent of the damage.
The foundation of our service is a dual bonding agent process that most competitors do not offer. Rather than applying a single primer coat before the enamel finish, we lay down two separate bonding agents and cure each one with controlled high-temperature equipment. This creates a significantly stronger adhesion between the new surface and the original bath, producing a finish that withstands daily use for years rather than peeling or discolouring within months.
Beyond baths, Bath Fixer Hungerford also repair sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic wall tiles, granite worktops, uPVC window frames and doors, and solid surface furniture. If a hard surface in your property has been chipped, cracked, scratched, or worn down, we can almost certainly restore it without the need for a costly replacement.

Bath Fixer Hungerford use a proprietary two-stage bonding system that delivers a stronger, longer-lasting finish than standard single-primer methods.

Our technicians blend repair materials to the precise shade of your existing bath surface. Even on period baths where the original enamel has aged and yellowed over decades, the finished repair is indistinguishable from the surrounding area — no visible patches or colour differences.
Chip repairs are typically finished within an hour or two. A full bath resurfacing takes four to six hours on site, and the bath is ready for careful use the following day. No multi-day disruption, no tradesman queue, no waiting for parts to arrive.
Our dual bonding agent system combined with infrared curing produces a hard-wearing surface that resists chips, stains, and peeling. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee — the kind of confidence that comes from using professional-grade materials and proven techniques.
Bath Fixer Hungerford technicians are trained across every common bath material — cast iron enamel, pressed steel, acrylic, stone resin, fibreglass, and copper. We also repair shower trays, sinks, worktops, and uPVC. Fully insured for every appointment.
Hungerford's architectural character reflects centuries of development along this historic market town on the Kennet and Avon Canal. Georgian townhouses line the High Street and Bridge Street, many now converted into flats or maintained as family homes with original period features intact. Beyond the town centre, a mix of Victorian cottages, Edwardian villas, inter-war semis, and post-war bungalows extends into the surrounding lanes and estates.
The bathrooms in these properties span a wide range of ages and materials. Cast iron roll-top baths with thick enamel coatings are still found in many of the older homes — particularly the Georgian and Victorian buildings where the original fittings were built to last. In these baths, the most common issues are enamel crazing, surface dulling from decades of abrasive cleaning, and rust spots where moisture has worked through worn patches. Pressed steel baths from the mid-twentieth century are prone to chipping along the edges and around the plug hole, while acrylic baths in newer builds and renovations suffer from impact cracks and scratching.
Bath Fixer Hungerford understand these distinctions and adapt our methods accordingly. We do not take a generic approach — every surface is assessed individually, and the repair technique, bonding system, and finishing method are selected to match the specific material and condition. That level of precision is the difference between a lasting restoration and a cosmetic patch that deteriorates within months.
Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Hungerford and West Berkshire area
The owners of a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Hungerford High Street had an original cast iron roll-top bath that had developed extensive enamel crazing across the base and sides. Years of limescale build-up from the local hard water supply had compounded the deterioration, leaving the surface rough to the touch and visually unappealing. Two separate plumbers had advised full replacement — an option that would have required removing a door frame to extract the heavy iron tub, disturbing original flooring, and sourcing a period-appropriate replacement at considerable expense.
Bath Fixer Hungerford treated the entire interior surface with a specialist descaler to remove the mineral deposits, then addressed the crazed enamel with a high-adhesion filler applied to the affected areas. The full 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, returning the bath to a smooth, bright white finish.
The original cast iron bath was preserved in situ with no structural work required. The homeowners saved over £2,400 compared to the lowest replacement quote and avoided weeks of disruption to a listed building. The bath now has a factory-smooth finish with a written guarantee from Bath Fixer.
A property manager overseeing a holiday let cottage south of Hungerford discovered a deep impact crack and several surrounding stress fractures in the acrylic bath during a changeover inspection. With guests due to arrive in four days, a full bath replacement was not feasible — the rural location meant extended lead times for plumbing contractors and the bathroom access was too narrow for quick removal without additional building work.
We stabilised the stress fractures to halt any further spreading, filled the impact crack with a structural-grade acrylic compound, and sanded the repaired area level with the surrounding surface. A colour-matched topcoat was applied and cured on site, blending the repair invisibly into the original white finish. A protective sealant completed the job.
The repair was completed in under three hours, well ahead of the guest arrival. The property manager retained the booking without cancellation or disruption, and the cost was less than a quarter of the replacement estimate. The cottage has since hosted several bookings with no issues reported.
Step-by-step breakdown of how Bath Fixer Hungerford restore your bath to factory-fresh condition
Dust sheets are laid across flooring, the basin, WC, radiators, and surrounding fixtures. Any existing sealant is carefully removed and the work area is fully protected before we begin.
Professional cleaning agents strip away residue and contaminants. Each chip, crack, abrasion, and area of erosion is identified and repaired with the appropriate filler compound before the surface preparation continues.
Taps, overflow, drain, tiles, and surrounding walls are masked with specialist covering. A professional degreaser eliminates any remaining contaminants from the bath surface to ensure maximum bonding adhesion.
The first bonding agent is applied and cured, followed by a second primer using high-temperature application. This two-stage process — exclusive to Bath Fixer — produces an ultra-durable bond between the new coating and the original surface beneath.
Colour-matched enamel is professionally sprayed across the prepared surface. Our infrared low-bake curing system accelerates the bonding process, producing a smooth, factory-quality finish that is hard-wearing and resistant to staining.
The surface is polished to a high sheen, all masking is removed, and a waterproof sealant is applied around the bath perimeter. A thorough final inspection ensures the finish meets our standards before sign-off.

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Hungerford
Bath resurfacing restores the existing surface to a like-new condition at a fraction of the replacement cost — typically saving forty to sixty per cent. In older Hungerford properties where cast iron or heavy pressed steel baths are built into tiled surrounds, removal often means damaging tiles, disconnecting plumbing, and days of disruption. Resurfacing avoids all of that, preserving the original fixture while delivering a factory-quality finish in a single visit.
Yes. We carry out individual chip and crack repairs on a daily basis. Impact damage from dropped bottles, showerheads, or heavy objects is one of the most common issues we encounter. Our technicians colour-match the repair material to the existing surface so the mended area blends seamlessly into the surrounding finish. There is no need to resurface the entire bath for localised damage.
Bath Fixer Hungerford work on every bath material in common use — cast iron, pressed steel, acrylic, stone resin, fibreglass, and copper. The older Georgian and Victorian properties around Hungerford often contain original cast iron tubs that respond exceptionally well to professional resurfacing. Modern acrylic baths found in newer builds and conversions are equally within our scope.
The bath is ready for careful use within twenty-four hours of the resurfacing being completed. Full curing takes approximately forty-eight hours. We recommend avoiding abrasive cleaners for the first week and using only soft cloths and non-abrasive products thereafter to maintain the finish for as long as possible.
Bath Fixer cover the whole of Hungerford and the surrounding West Berkshire countryside. Our regular service areas include Hungerford, Kintbury, Lambourn, Great Bedwyn, Chilton Foliat, Inkpen, and Froxfield. We also attend properties in Newbury, Marlborough, and the villages in between.
Every bath repair and resurfacing job completed by Bath Fixer carries a written guarantee. Our two-stage bonding agent process — applying two separate primers cured with high-temperature equipment rather than the single primer most competitors use — creates an exceptionally durable adhesion between the new coating and the original surface. The result is a long-lasting finish that we are confident standing behind.
