Specialist Bath Resurfacing & Enamel Restoration for the Lambourn Valley & West Berkshire
Bath Fixer Lambourn provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout Lambourn and the wider West Berkshire countryside. Our trained technicians handle every type of bath surface — from period enamel on cast iron tubs in village cottages to modern acrylic in new-build developments — offering a cost-effective alternative to full bath replacement that saves homeowners both money and upheaval.
Every job starts with a careful assessment of the damage and the surface material. A hairline chip on a pressed steel bath in a 1930s semi demands a different approach to a deep crack in the acrylic bath of a recently built property. Bath Fixer Lambourn tailor every repair to the specific material, age, and condition of the fixture — acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass surfaces all fall within our scope.
The distinction between Bath Fixer and other bathroom repair firms working across Berkshire lies in our two-stage bonding process. Most competitors apply a single primer before the enamel coat. We use two bonding agents, each cured with a hot air gun, to produce an exceptionally strong adhesion between the new surface and the original bath. That additional step is the reason our finishes resist chipping, peeling, and discolouration for years rather than months.
Beyond baths, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Lambourn home is damaged, chipped, cracked, or worn — there is every chance Bath Fixer Lambourn can bring it back to life without the expense of a full replacement.
Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair challenges we see in Lambourn are common across the surrounding villages and market towns. Property owners in Hungerford and Newbury face comparable issues with ageing enamel, impact damage, and worn bath surfaces. See our area-specific guides for detailed information about your location.
Bath Fixer Lambourn use a proprietary two-stage bonding system that delivers a stronger, longer-lasting finish than standard single-primer methods.

Our technicians blend the exact shade of your existing bath surface using professional-grade colour systems. Repaired areas integrate invisibly with the surrounding finish — even on aged enamel where the original white has mellowed and yellowed over many decades of use in older Lambourn properties.
Most chip repairs and minor restorations are finished within hours. A full bath resurfacing typically takes four to six hours on site, with the bath usable again within twenty-four hours. There is no multi-day disruption and no need to arrange alternative bathing facilities.
Our dual bonding agent system and infrared curing process deliver a factory-quality finish that stands up to daily use. The surface resists chipping, peeling, and staining, and every repair carries a written guarantee. Lambourn homeowners can rely on a result that looks and performs like new for years.
Bath Fixer Lambourn 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 we undertake across the Berkshire area.
Lambourn sits at the heart of the Berkshire Downs, a village renowned for its equestrian heritage and surrounded by rolling downland countryside. The housing stock reflects centuries of development — from brick and flint cottages dating back to the Georgian and Victorian eras, through the 1930s semi-detached homes that line the village's main roads, to the modern estates and converted stable yards that have appeared in recent decades. Each generation of building brought different bathroom fittings and materials, and each presents distinct repair challenges.
The older enamel baths found in Lambourn's period cottages and Victorian terraces are susceptible to surface crazing, rust spots where moisture has penetrated worn areas, and widespread dulling from decades of cleaning with abrasive products. The hard water supply common across the Berkshire Downs accelerates limescale build-up and mineral staining, compounding the wear on already ageing surfaces. In newer properties, acrylic baths are prone to impact cracks, deep scratches, and stress fractures — particularly around the edges where weight is concentrated.
Bath Fixer Lambourn have built our reputation on understanding these distinctions and adapting our methods accordingly. We do not use a one-size-fits-all process — every repair is matched to the specific material, age, and condition of the surface. That practical expertise is the difference between a repair that endures and one that deteriorates within months.
Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across the Lambourn Valley and West Berkshire
A homeowner in a period cottage on Newbury Street had an original cast iron bath with significant enamel deterioration. Years of hard water exposure had left deep limescale staining across the base and sides, while the enamel around the overflow and tap fittings had worn through entirely, exposing bare metal that was beginning to corrode. A local bathroom fitter had quoted over £2,400 to remove the bath — which sat against original tiling — install new plumbing, and fit a replacement.
Bath Fixer Lambourn treated the corroded areas with a specialist rust converter and allowed full curing before rebuilding the worn 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 complete polish and fresh perimeter seal.
The bath was restored to a bright, smooth finish with no visible trace of the previous corrosion or limescale damage. The homeowner saved over £2,000 compared to the replacement quote and preserved the original tiling and period character of the bathroom. The work was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.
A family on one of Lambourn's newer residential estates discovered a deep impact crack and radiating hairline fractures in their acrylic bath after a heavy ceramic soap dish fell from the shelf above. Water was beginning to seep beneath the surface through the fractured area, and they were concerned about potential damage to the floor below. Replacing the bath would have meant disconnecting plumbing, lifting surrounding tiles, and at least three days of disruption.
We stabilised the hairline fractures with a resin treatment to prevent further spread, then filled the impact crater with a structural-grade compound and sanded the area level with the surrounding surface. The repaired section was colour-matched to the existing white acrylic and blended seamlessly into the original finish. A protective topcoat was applied and cured with our infrared system.
The entire repair was completed in under four hours. The bath surface was restored to a smooth, watertight condition with no visible evidence of the original damage. The family avoided the cost and disruption of a full replacement, and the repair was covered by a written guarantee from Bath Fixer Lambourn.
Step-by-step breakdown of how Bath Fixer Lambourn restore your bath to factory-fresh condition
We dust-sheet the flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and all major fixtures. Old sealant is stripped away and the surrounding area is thoroughly protected before any work begins on the bath surface.
Specialist cleaning agents strip all residue, limescale, and contaminants. Every imperfection — chips, cracks, abrasions, mineral deposits, and erosion — is then repaired. Structural concerns are resolved at this stage.
Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist materials. A professional-grade degreaser removes any remaining contaminants to ensure maximum adhesion for the bonding agents that follow.
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 that far outlasts single-primer methods.
The new enamel surface is professionally sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system. This method accelerates bonding and produces a smooth, hard-wearing factory-quality finish across the entire bath surface.
We polish the surface to a high gloss, remove all masking, and apply a protective waterproof sealant to ensure a watertight, secure finish. The bath is inspected thoroughly before sign-off and handover.
Feedback from homeowners and landlords who have used Bath Fixer across the Lambourn Valley
"Brilliant work on our Victorian cottage bath. The enamel had worn badly around the drain and along the base. The technician matched the colour perfectly and the finish is outstanding — you would never know it had been repaired. Very pleased with the whole experience from booking to completion."
"We manage several rental properties in the Lambourn valley and Bath Fixer have resurfaced four baths for us now. Always on time, always professional, and the results speak for themselves. Saves us a fortune compared to replacing entire bathroom suites between tenancies."
"Our acrylic bath had a nasty crack from a dropped showerhead. Ilia came out promptly and repaired it in a few hours. The colour match is spot on and the surface feels completely smooth. Excellent service from start to finish — highly recommended to anyone in the area."

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Lambourn
Bath resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than a complete bath replacement. For Lambourn properties — particularly older cottages and period homes where removing a bath means disturbing original tilework, pipework, and sometimes structural elements — the savings can be even greater. Resurfacing preserves your existing bath while restoring it to a factory-fresh finish in a single visit.
Yes. Our professional coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, sink pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish your complete bathroom suite to match any colour you prefer. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than resurfacing is the toilet, as the abrasive cleaning products and brushes used in regular toilet maintenance will gradually wear through the refinished coating over time.
Absolutely. We regularly repair individual chips, cracks, and localised damage on otherwise sound bath surfaces. Dropped bottles, heavy taps, showerheads, and even tile fragments are among the most common causes of impact damage we see in Lambourn and the surrounding Berkshire villages. Our colour-matching technique ensures the repaired section blends invisibly with the existing finish.
A standard bath resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site. That covers surface preparation, repair of any chips or cracks, the application of two bonding agents, the enamel spray coat, infrared curing, and final polishing. The bath is ready for light use within twenty-four hours and fully cured within forty-eight hours of the appointment.
Most of the DIY repairs we encounter across the Lambourn area are jobs we are subsequently called to fix. The kits sold through hardware stores use consumer-grade materials that lack the durability and adhesion of professional coatings. They tend to leave a visible patch, a rough texture, or a surface that yellows and peels within months. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Lambourn costs more upfront but delivers a result that lasts years rather than weeks.
Bath Fixer covers the whole of Lambourn and the wider West Berkshire area. Our regular service areas include Lambourn, Upper Lambourn, East Garston, Great Shefford, Hungerford, Kintbury, Wantage, and Newbury. We also attend properties across the Lambourn Valley and into the surrounding Berkshire Downs villages.
