About Bath Fixer Thatcham

Bath Fixer Thatcham provide specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration throughout Thatcham and the wider West Berkshire area. Our experienced technicians tackle every type of bath damage – from minor chips in acrylic tubs to comprehensive enamel restoration on older pressed steel baths – offering a practical and affordable alternative to ripping out and replacing the entire unit.

Every job begins with a careful evaluation of the damage and the bath material. A shallow scratch on a modern acrylic bath demands a different technique to deep corrosion on a 1960s pressed steel tub, and our team understand those distinctions. Acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass surfaces each call for a tailored method, and Bath Fixer Thatcham have the training and materials to address them all.

The key difference between Bath Fixer and the majority of bathroom repair firms working in Berkshire is our two-stage bonding system. Most competitors apply a single primer coat before spraying the enamel finish. We apply two separate bonding agents, each cured with a hot air gun, to build an exceptionally strong adhesion layer between the original surface and the new coating. The outcome is a finish that holds up against daily use for years rather than peeling or discolouring within months.

Beyond baths, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If you have a damaged hard surface anywhere in your home, Bath Fixer Thatcham can almost certainly repair it without the expense of wholesale replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same types of bathroom repair challenges we address in Thatcham are found across neighbouring towns. Homeowners in Newbury and Cold Ash face similar issues with ageing baths, impact damage, and deteriorating enamel surfaces. See our area-specific guides for detailed information about your location.

Precision Colour Matching

Our technicians blend the precise shade of your existing bath surface using professional-grade colour systems. The repaired area merges invisibly with the surrounding finish – even on baths where the original white has yellowed or shifted tone over decades of daily use.

Completed in a Single Visit

Most individual chip repairs and minor restorations are finished within a few hours. A full bath resurfacing typically requires four to six hours on site, with the bath ready for use the following day. Your household routine stays largely unaffected.

Durable Guaranteed Finish

Our dual bonding agent system paired with infrared curing delivers a hard-wearing, factory-quality surface that stands up to everyday use. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee. The result is a bath that looks and performs like new for years to come.

Trained Surface Specialists

Bath Fixer Thatcham technicians hold specialist qualifications in 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 Thatcham Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Thatcham’s housing stock reflects the town’s steady growth through the second half of the twentieth century and beyond. The core of the town features a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces alongside some older period cottages, while the surrounding residential areas – Dunstan Park, Kennet Heath, The Moors, and the estates off Floral Way – consist predominantly of 1960s to 1990s detached and semi-detached family homes. More recent developments such as Lambourn Meadows have added modern new-build houses to the mix.

The pressed steel baths fitted as standard during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s building boom are now reaching the stage where enamel wear becomes unavoidable. Surface chips from dropped bottles or shower fittings, rust patches where moisture has worked through thinning enamel, and a general dulling from years of abrasive cleaning are the issues our technicians encounter most frequently across Thatcham’s established estates. In the newer properties, acrylic baths are more common and bring their own vulnerabilities – impact cracks, stress fractures, and scratches that worsen with use.

Bath Fixer Thatcham have developed our service around these local realities. We do not apply a blanket approach to every repair – we assess the specific material, the age of the fixture, and the nature of the damage before selecting the right technique. That considered methodology is the difference between a lasting restoration and a surface repair that breaks down within a few months.

Pressed Steel Bath Restoration – Dunstan Park

Thatcham, RG19
The Challenge

A homeowner on the Dunstan Park estate contacted us about a pressed steel bath fitted during the original 1980s construction. The enamel along the base had worn through in several places, exposing the steel underneath and producing rust stains that returned within days of cleaning. A cluster of chips near the tap end – caused by a falling tile during a shelf installation – had accelerated the deterioration. A local bathroom fitter had quoted over £2,400 to remove and replace the bath, including tile repair and replumbing.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Thatcham treated every corroded area with a professional rust converter, then rebuilt the damaged zones using a high-adhesion repair compound to restore the original surface profile. The entire bath was keyed, degreased, and prepared for our two-stage bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured using our infrared system, followed by a full polish and fresh perimeter seal.

The Result

The bath was returned to a bright, smooth finish with no visible trace of corrosion or impact damage. The homeowner saved over £1,900 compared to a full replacement and avoided the disruption of a multi-day bathroom refit. The work was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair – Kennet Heath

Thatcham, RG18
The Challenge

A letting agent managing a buy-to-let property on the Kennet Heath development reported a deep crack and surrounding hairline fractures in the acrylic bath panel. The damage had occurred between tenancies, and the property needed to be market-ready within days. A full bath replacement would have required plumbing disconnection, tile removal, and at least three working days – unacceptable given the letting schedule and the cost of an extended void period.

Our Solution

We stabilised the hairline fractures to stop further spread, filled the main crack with a structural-grade acrylic compound, and sanded the repaired area level with the surrounding surface. A colour-matched topcoat was applied and blended seamlessly into the existing white finish. A protective clear layer was cured on site to provide additional durability.

The Result

The entire repair was finished in under four hours. The letting agent was able to hand over the keys to the new tenant on the agreed date, and the bath showed no sign of the previous damage. The cost was a fraction of the replacement quote, with a written guarantee covering the workmanship.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

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

1
Protection & Preparation

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.

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

Specialist cleaning agents remove all residue. We then address every imperfection – chips, cracks, abrasions, mineral deposits, and areas of erosion. Structural issues are resolved at this stage.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

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

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

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.

5
Enamel Spray & Infrared Curing

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.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Check

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.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bath Repair Thatcham

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Thatcham

Bath resurfacing typically costs between forty and seventy per cent less than a full bath replacement. Replacing a bath involves disconnecting plumbing, lifting floor and wall tiles, removing the old unit, fitting the new one, and making good the surrounding surfaces. Resurfacing avoids all of that disruption and expense while restoring your existing bath to a factory-quality finish in a single visit.

Yes. Our professional coating system works on bathtubs, washbasins, pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish your complete bathroom suite to any preferred colour. 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 surface over time.

Absolutely. We regularly carry out individual chip, scratch, and localised damage repairs on otherwise sound bath surfaces. Dropped bottles, shower fittings, and heavy objects are the most frequent causes of impact damage we see across Thatcham properties. Our colour-matching technique ensures the repaired section blends invisibly with the surrounding finish.

A standard bath resurfacing takes between four and six hours on site. This covers surface preparation, damage repair, the application of our two bonding agents, the enamel spray coat, infrared curing, and final polishing. The bath is safe for light use within twenty-four hours and reaches full cure within forty-eight hours of completion.

The majority of our call-outs to Thatcham properties involve correcting failed DIY repair attempts. Consumer-grade kits sold in hardware stores use materials that lack the adhesion and durability of professional coatings. They frequently produce visible patches, uneven textures, or finishes that yellow and peel within weeks. A professional repair from Bath Fixer Thatcham costs more upfront but delivers a result that endures for years rather than deteriorating rapidly.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Thatcham and the wider West Berkshire area. Our regular service areas include Thatcham, Newbury, Cold Ash, Midgham, Woolhampton, Greenham, Hermitage, and Bucklebury. We also attend properties in neighbouring areas including Reading, Hungerford, and Basingstoke.

Areas We Cover in & Around Thatcham

Bath Fixer provide professional bath repair and resurfacing across Thatcham and the wider West Berkshire area

Thatcham Town Centre & Dunstan Park

The established residential streets of central Thatcham and the popular Dunstan Park estate feature a blend of 1970s and 1980s detached and semi-detached family homes alongside older terraces near the high street. Pressed steel baths with worn enamel and ageing acrylic tubs with impact cracks are the most common repair requests from this area.

Book in Thatcham
Newbury

The neighbouring market town of Newbury offers a wider range of property ages, from Georgian and Victorian houses in the town centre to extensive 1950s and 1960s estates on the outskirts. Bath repair needs here range from enamel restoration on older cast iron baths to chip repair on modern acrylic units in newer developments.

Bath Repair Newbury
Cold Ash & Hermitage

The villages of Cold Ash and Hermitage sit on the higher ground south of Thatcham and are characterised by spacious detached homes built primarily from the 1950s through to the 1980s. Original bathroom suites in these properties are often well past their prime, making bath resurfacing a sensible alternative to costly full renovations.

Bath Repair Cold Ash
Midgham & Woolhampton

These riverside villages east of Thatcham combine period cottages and farmhouses with pockets of twentieth-century infill housing. Older properties often retain original cast iron or heavy pressed steel baths that benefit greatly from professional resurfacing rather than replacement, preserving the character of the bathroom.

Book in Midgham
Greenham & Kennet Heath

South of the town, Greenham and the Kennet Heath development offer a mix of modern family housing and some older properties near the former airfield. Acrylic bath repairs and tenant-changeover resurfacing are the most frequent requests from landlords and homeowners in this growing residential area.
