About Bath Fixer Newbury

Bath Fixer Newbury provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout Newbury and the wider West Berkshire district. Our trained technicians handle everything from small enamel chips on modern acrylic baths through to complete resurfacing on period cast iron tubs — offering a practical, cost-effective alternative to full bath replacement that saves both money and disruption for our customers.

Every job begins with a careful assessment of the damage and the bath material. A hairline crack in an acrylic panel bath calls for a different repair technique than rust bleeding through the base of a Victorian cast iron tub, and a pressed steel bath with worn enamel across its entire surface requires a different approach again. Bath Fixer Newbury have the training and the materials to address each of these situations properly.

The difference between Bath Fixer and most bathroom repair firms operating across Berkshire is our two-stage bonding process. Rather than applying a single primer coat before the enamel — the standard method used by the majority of competitors — we apply two separate bonding agents cured with a hot air gun. This creates a significantly stronger adhesion between the new enamel layer and the original surface, producing a finish that resists peeling, chipping, and discolouration for years rather than months.

Beyond baths, we also carry out specialist repairs on sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Newbury home has suffered damage — chips, cracks, scratches, or general wear — there is an excellent chance Bath Fixer can restore it without the expense of a full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair challenges we address in Newbury are found across the surrounding towns and villages. Property owners in Thatcham and Hungerford face comparable issues with ageing baths, impact damage, and worn enamel surfaces.

Precision Colour Matching

Our technicians blend colours to match the exact shade of your existing bath surface using professional-grade materials. Repaired areas integrate seamlessly — even on older enamel that has yellowed or discoloured with age, which is common in Newbury's period properties.

Completed in a Single Visit

Most chip repairs and minor restorations are finished the same day. A full bath resurfacing takes four to six hours on site, and the bath is ready for light use within twenty-four hours. Minimal disruption to your daily routine in the bathroom.

Durable Finish Guaranteed

Our dual bonding agent system combined with infrared curing delivers a factory-standard finish that stands up to daily use. Each repair carries a written guarantee, giving you confidence that the restored surface will perform for years to come.

Trained & Insured Specialists

Bath Fixer Newbury technicians are 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 appointment.

Why Newbury Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Newbury's housing stock reflects centuries of development — from the Georgian townhouses and coaching inns lining Bartholomew Street and Cheap Street, through the Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the streets radiating from the town centre, to the extensive inter-war and post-war suburban estates in areas like Wash Common, Greenham, and Shaw. Each generation of building brought different bathroom fixtures and different materials, and each presents distinct repair challenges.

The cast iron roll-top baths and deep enamel basins found in Newbury's older Georgian and Victorian properties develop a characteristic pattern of wear over the decades — fine crazing across the enamel surface, isolated chips around the tap end and waste, and gradual yellowing that no amount of cleaning can reverse. The pressed steel baths fitted in the 1930s to 1960s homes across Wash Common and Greenham are susceptible to rust forming beneath the enamel where small chips have allowed moisture to penetrate. Modern acrylic baths in the newer developments around Newbury Racecourse and along the Kennet corridor are prone to impact cracks, stress fractures, and deep scratches.

Bath Fixer Newbury have built our service around understanding these material differences. We do not apply a single repair method to every bath we encounter — we assess the specific material, age, and condition of the surface before selecting the appropriate technique. That careful, material-specific approach is the distinction between a repair that endures and one that deteriorates within months.

Recent Bath Repairs in Newbury

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

Victorian Cast Iron Bath — Bartholomew Street

Newbury Town Centre, RG14
The Challenge

A homeowner in a mid-Victorian terrace on Bartholomew Street contacted us about an original cast iron bath that had developed extensive crazing across the base, several deep chips around the waste fitting, and a persistent yellowing that household cleaners could not shift. The bath was a period feature the owner wanted to retain, but a bathroom fitter had quoted over £2,800 for removal, tiling repair, plumbing alteration, and installation of a modern replacement.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Newbury treated the chips with a high-adhesion filler compound to restore the original surface profile. The entire bath was then degreased, keyed, and prepared for our dual bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched white enamel were professionally sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system. The surrounding sealant was stripped and replaced with a fresh waterproof bead.

The Result

The cast iron bath was restored to a bright, smooth finish with no visible trace of the previous crazing or chip damage. The homeowner saved over £2,400 compared to the replacement quote, kept the original period feature intact, and avoided a multi-day bathroom refit. The entire repair was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Rental Property Acrylic Bath — Greenham Estate

Greenham, RG19
The Challenge

A letting agent managing a three-bedroom rental property on the Greenham estate needed an urgent bath repair between tenancies. The acrylic bath had sustained a deep gouge near the overflow, numerous surface scratches along the base, and a discoloured ring around the waterline that would not clean off. Replacing the bath would have delayed the new tenancy by at least a week and cost significantly more than the agent's maintenance budget allowed.

Our Solution

We filled the gouge with a structural-grade acrylic compound and sanded it flush with the surrounding surface. The scratches were carefully buffed and treated, and the waterline staining was removed during our deep cleaning preparation stage. A full colour-matched resurfacing was applied using our dual bonding system, followed by infrared curing and a protective topcoat.

The Result

The bath was returned to a clean, uniform finish in under five hours. The letting agent was able to proceed with the new tenancy on schedule without the delay or expense of a full replacement. The repair came in well within budget and carries a written guarantee covering the work.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

Step-by-step breakdown of how Bath Fixer Newbury restore your bath to factory-fresh condition

1
Protection & Preparation

We dust-sheet the flooring, WC, basin, radiators, and surrounding fixtures. Old sealant is carefully stripped and the area is fully protected before any repair work commences.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

Professional-grade cleaning agents remove all residue and contaminants. Every imperfection is then addressed — chips, cracks, scratches, mineral deposits, and erosion — with structural issues repaired at this stage.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist covering materials. A professional-grade degreasing agent eliminates any remaining contaminants from the bath surface ahead of priming.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

The first bonding agent is applied and allowed to key, then reinforced with a second primer using high-temperature application. This two-stage approach — exclusive to Bath Fixer — produces an exceptionally strong bond with the original surface.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

The new enamel surface is professionally sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake system. This accelerates the bonding process and produces a smooth, resilient, factory-quality finish across the entire surface.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Check

We polish the finished surface to a high sheen, remove all masking materials, and apply a fresh waterproof sealant to ensure a secure, watertight perimeter. The bath is inspected and signed off before we leave.

James H.
Newbury — 03/02/2025

"Contacted Bath Fixer about a badly chipped enamel bath in our Victorian terrace near the town centre. Ilia arrived on time, explained the full process, and worked neatly throughout. The bath looks absolutely pristine now — you would never know it had been damaged. Very impressed with the quality."

Louise M.
Thatcham — 19/11/2024

"Alex resurfaced the bath in our rental property in Thatcham. The previous tenants had left it in a terrible state with scratches and stains everywhere. Alex transformed it in a single visit — it genuinely looks brand new. Excellent value compared to fitting a replacement."

Peter K.
Wash Common — 14/08/2024

"Had two deep cracks repaired in our acrylic bath after a heavy tile fell during a renovation. Ilia handled the job quickly and the finish is seamless. Could not be happier with the result. Would not hesitate to recommend Bath Fixer to anyone in the Newbury area."

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Newbury

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Newbury

Resurfacing your bath typically costs between forty and seventy per cent less than ripping out the existing bath and fitting a new one. Many Newbury properties — particularly the Georgian and Victorian homes around the town centre — have original baths that are far superior in quality to modern replacements. Resurfacing preserves these fixtures while restoring a factory-fresh finish, and avoids the upheaval of disconnecting plumbing, removing tiling, and disposing of the old bath.

Yes. Our professional refinishing system works on baths, basins, sink pedestals, and ceramic tile surrounds. We can colour-match your entire suite for a uniform finish. The only fixture we recommend replacing rather than resurfacing is the toilet — the harsh cleaning chemicals and abrasive brushes used on toilets will gradually wear through the refinished coating over time.

Absolutely. We carry out individual chip, scratch, and crack repairs every day across the Newbury area. Dropped bottles, shower heads, ceramic tile fragments, and heavy taps are the most common causes of impact damage we encounter in West Berkshire. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired area blends invisibly with the surrounding surface.

A standard full resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site. This covers surface preparation, chip and crack repair, the application of two bonding agents, enamel spraying, infrared curing, and a final polish. The bath can be used lightly after twenty-four hours and is fully cured within forty-eight hours of completion.

A significant proportion of our work in Newbury involves correcting failed DIY repair attempts. The kits sold in hardware shops use consumer-grade compounds that lack the adhesion and durability of professional coatings. They typically produce a visible patch, an uneven texture, or a finish that yellows and peels within a matter of months. A professional repair from Bath Fixer Newbury costs more than an off-the-shelf kit but delivers a result that lasts for years rather than weeks.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Newbury and the wider West Berkshire district. Our regular service areas include Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford, Kintbury, Hermitage, Cold Ash, Chieveley, and Lambourn. We also attend properties in neighbouring areas including Basingstoke, Reading, and Marlborough.
