About Bath Fixer Woodley

Bath Fixer Woodley offer specialist bath repair, resurfacing, and enamel restoration across Woodley and the wider Berkshire area. Our experienced technicians handle everything from hairline cracks in acrylic tubs to full enamel restoration on pressed steel and cast iron baths — providing a practical, affordable alternative to the expense and upheaval of complete bath replacement.

Every job starts with a detailed assessment of the damage and the bath material. Whether the problem is a single chip from a dropped bottle, long-term enamel erosion across a heavily used surface, or deep stress fractures that have developed over decades, we select the repair method that matches the specific material and condition. Acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass — each demands a different approach, and Bath Fixer Woodley have the training and equipment to manage them all.

The key difference between Bath Fixer and other refinishing companies working in Berkshire is our dual bonding agent system. Most operators apply a single primer before spraying the topcoat. 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 enamel. The outcome is a finish that holds up against daily use, resisting chips, peeling, and yellowing for years rather than months.

Beyond baths, we also repair sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, uPVC surfaces, granite worktops, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Woodley home is chipped, cracked, worn, or discoloured, Bath Fixer can almost certainly restore it without the cost of full replacement.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The same kinds of bath repair challenges we see in Woodley are widespread throughout the surrounding towns. Property owners in Earley and Wokingham regularly face comparable issues with ageing enamel, impact damage, and worn bath surfaces. See our area-specific guides for more details.

Precision Colour Matching

Our technicians blend the exact shade of your existing bath surface using professional-grade pigments. The repaired section integrates invisibly with the surrounding finish — even on baths where the original white has mellowed or yellowed over decades of daily use.

Completed in a Single Visit

Most chip repairs and minor restorations are finished within one appointment. A full bath resurfacing generally takes four to six hours on site, with the bath ready for use the following day. Your household routine is barely interrupted.

Durable Factory-Grade Finish

Our dual bonding agent system paired with infrared curing delivers a hard-wearing surface that resists chipping, peeling, and staining under normal use. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee — a finish that performs for years, not months.

Trained & Insured Specialists

Bath Fixer Woodley technicians are fully trained in specialist refinishing across enamel baths, acrylic tubs, pressed steel, stone resin, shower trays, sinks, worktops, and uPVC surfaces. Full public liability insurance covers every appointment.

Why Woodley Property Owners Choose Bath Fixer

Woodley's housing stock is dominated by residential development from the mid-twentieth century onward. Large-scale building through the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s produced the estates that define much of the town today — three-bedroom semi-detached houses, detached family homes, and bungalows that line the streets between Woodlands Avenue and Loddon Bridge Road. Earlier inter-war properties can be found closer to the centre and along the roads leading toward Sonning, while more recent developments have appeared around the Loddon Valley and on infill sites throughout the area.

The bathrooms in these properties reflect their construction era. The pressed steel baths fitted in 1960s and 1970s houses are now routinely suffering from enamel wear along the base, chips around the tap and overflow, and rust spots where moisture has worked through thin patches. Older properties with cast iron baths face similar enamel deterioration but with the added complication of heavier, harder-to-replace fixtures. The acrylic baths installed during more recent renovations and in newer builds are prone to impact cracks, scratches, and stress marks — particularly along weight-bearing edges.

Bath Fixer Woodley have developed our service around these local realities. We do not apply a single method to every job — we adapt the repair technique to the specific bath material, the type of damage, and the age of the surface. That targeted approach is what produces lasting results, and it is why homeowners across Woodley and the surrounding Berkshire towns continue to recommend us.

Recent Bath Repairs in Woodley

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

1970s Pressed Steel Bath — Vauxhall Drive

Woodley, RG5
The Challenge

A retired couple on Vauxhall Drive had lived with a deteriorating pressed steel bath for over a decade. The enamel had worn thin across the entire base and was completely gone in patches near the drain, exposing the steel to standing water and accelerating corrosion. Rust staining had spread outward from the worst areas, and the surface felt rough underfoot. A bathroom fitter had quoted in excess of £2,400 to remove the bath, repair the tiling and boxing, and install a replacement — a figure the homeowners were not prepared to spend.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Woodley treated the corroded sections with a specialist rust converter before filling and smoothing the damaged areas to restore the original contour. The entire bath surface was keyed, degreased, and primed using our two-stage bonding agent system. Two coats of colour-matched enamel were sprayed and cured using our infrared low-bake method, followed by a hand polish and full perimeter reseal.

The Result

The bath was returned to a bright, smooth finish with no trace of the previous rust damage or enamel loss. The homeowners saved over £2,000 compared to a full replacement and avoided the disruption of a multi-day bathroom refit. The work was completed in a single visit and carries a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair — Loddon Bridge Road

Woodley, RG5
The Challenge

A landlord managing a rental property near Loddon Bridge Road contacted Bath Fixer after a tenant reported a visible crack running along the base of the acrylic bath, with a deep impact gouge near the plug hole. The tenancy was due to turn over within three weeks and the landlord needed the bath repaired quickly and affordably. A plumber had estimated over £1,800 for removal, replacement, and reconnection — plus the risk of damaging the surrounding tiles and flooring.

Our Solution

We stabilised the crack to prevent further spread, filled the gouge with a structural-grade acrylic compound, and sanded the repaired area flush with the existing surface. The affected section was colour-matched to the original white and blended seamlessly into the surrounding bath. A protective topcoat was applied and cured on site to provide a durable, water-resistant seal.

The Result

The repair was completed in under four hours. The landlord was able to proceed with the new tenancy on schedule, and the bath showed no visible evidence of the original damage. The total cost came in at a fraction of the replacement quote, with a written guarantee covering the repair.

Our Bath Resurfacing Process

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

1
Protection & Preparation

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

2
Deep Clean & Damage Repair

Professional cleaning agents remove all residue and contaminants. Every chip, crack, abrasion, and area of mineral build-up is then repaired. Any structural damage is addressed at this stage.

3
Masking & Surface Prep

Tiles, walls, taps, drain, and overflow are masked with specialist materials. A professional-grade degreaser eliminates any remaining contaminants, leaving the surface ready for priming.

4
Dual Bonding Agent Application

The first bonding agent is applied, followed by a second primer using high-temperature activation. This two-stage process — unique to Bath Fixer — creates an exceptionally strong bond between the new enamel and 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, hard-wearing, factory-quality finish.

6
Polish, Seal & Final Inspection

The surface is polished to a high gloss, all masking is removed, and a protective waterproof sealant is applied around the perimeter. The bath is inspected before sign-off to confirm a flawless result.

What Our Woodley Clients Say

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

Karen M.
Woodley — 10/02/2025

"Absolutely delighted with the result. Our bath had multiple chips along the rim and a long scratch down the side. Alex arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and finished in about five hours. You genuinely cannot see where the damage was — the colour match is spot on. Highly recommend Bath Fixer."

Rob T.
Woodley — 20/11/2024

"We had Ilia out to resurface a badly stained enamel bath in our 1970s house. The finish is superb — smooth, bright, and completely even. He was professional, tidy, and the whole job was done in a single day. Excellent value compared to what a new bath and refit would have cost."

Priya S.
Berkshire — 15/08/2024

"Called Bath Fixer on a Thursday morning and Ilia was at our Woodley property the following Tuesday. He repaired a deep crack in our acrylic shower tray and resurfaced the bath in the same visit. Both look brand new. Friendly, efficient, and the price was very fair. Would not hesitate to recommend."

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Woodley

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Woodley

Bath resurfacing typically costs between forty and sixty per cent less than removing and replacing an entire bath. For Woodley homeowners, this avoids the expense and disruption of disconnecting plumbing, damaging tiles, and disposing of the old unit. The original bath — particularly a quality enamel or cast iron model — is preserved and restored to a like-new condition in a single visit.

Yes. Our professional coating system is suitable for bathtubs, washbasins, sink pedestals, and ceramic tile surfaces. We can refinish your entire bathroom suite to a uniform colour. The one exception is the toilet — regular cleaning with abrasive products and brushes will gradually wear through a refinished coating, so we recommend replacing rather than resurfacing toilets.

Absolutely. We regularly repair individual chips, cracks, and localised damage on otherwise sound bath surfaces. Dropped bottles, showerheads, and heavy objects are the most frequent causes of impact damage we encounter across Woodley and Berkshire. Our colour-matching process ensures the repaired spot blends invisibly with the surrounding finish.

A standard bath resurfacing typically takes between four and six hours on site. This covers surface preparation, chip and crack repair, the application of two bonding agents, enamel spray coating, infrared curing, and final polishing. The bath is ready for light use within twenty-four hours and fully cured within forty-eight hours.

The majority of our call-outs involve correcting failed DIY attempts using consumer kits. These products use low-grade materials that lack the durability and adhesion of professional coatings. They frequently produce visible patches, uneven textures, and finishes that yellow or peel within weeks. A professional repair by Bath Fixer Woodley costs more upfront but delivers a result that lasts years and carries a written guarantee.

Bath Fixer covers the whole of Woodley and the surrounding Berkshire area. Our regular service areas include Woodley, Earley, Sonning, Twyford, Winnersh, Wokingham, Lower Earley, and Reading. We also attend properties in neighbouring towns including Henley-on-Thames, Bracknell, and Maidenhead.
