About Bath Fixer Theale

Bath Fixer Theale provide professional bath repair and resurfacing services to homeowners, landlords, and letting agents across Theale and the wider West Berkshire area. Our skilled technicians restore damaged baths to a factory-quality finish — repairing chips, cracks, scratches, stains, and worn enamel on every type of bath surface without the expense or disruption of a full replacement.

Theale sits at the heart of a residential corridor between Reading and Newbury where the housing stock ranges from period cottages in the village centre to 1930s semis along the main roads and modern family estates built from the 1980s onwards. Each generation of property brought different bathroom fittings and materials, and each develops its own characteristic damage patterns over time. Bath Fixer Theale understand these differences and adjust our methods accordingly.

Our dual bonding system is central to the quality we deliver. Unlike firms that rely on a single primer coat before spraying, Bath Fixer apply two separate bonding agents — each heat-cured with a professional-grade hot air gun — to build an adhesion layer that bonds the new enamel permanently to the original surface. This two-stage process produces a finish that withstands daily use, cleaning chemicals, and temperature changes without peeling, bubbling, or lifting.

Beyond baths, we also restore sinks, basins, shower trays, ceramic tiles, granite worktops, uPVC door panels, and solid surface fixtures. If a hard surface in your Theale property is chipped, cracked, stained, or worn, Bath Fixer can almost certainly repair it at a fraction of the replacement cost.

Nearby Areas We Serve: The bathroom repair challenges we address in Theale are common across surrounding towns. Homeowners in Calcot and Pangbourne face similar issues with ageing enamel, impact chips, and discoloured bath surfaces.

Precision Colour Matching

Every repair begins with accurate colour analysis. Our technicians blend custom shades to replicate the exact tone of your existing bath — including aged whites, creams, and discontinued coloured suites that cannot be bought off the shelf.

Completed in a Single Visit

Chip repairs take under two hours. Full bath resurfacing is finished within four to six hours on site. Your bath is ready for light use the following day, with no return visits required and minimal household disruption.

Guaranteed Durable Finish

The combination of our dual bonding agents and infrared curing technology produces a surface that resists chipping, peeling, and discolouration through years of daily use. Every job carries a written guarantee as standard.

Trained & Insured Technicians

Our specialists hold qualifications in surface refinishing across all bath materials — enamel, acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass. Full public liability insurance covers every appointment.

Why Theale Homeowners Trust Bath Fixer

Theale's residential character reflects its transition from a quiet Berkshire village into a well-connected commuter settlement. The older heart of the village retains Victorian and Edwardian cottages with original bathroom fittings — often cast iron baths that have served reliably for over a century but now show signs of enamel erosion, staining, and surface crazing. Moving outward from the centre, the 1930s and 1950s properties along the Bath Road corridor tend to feature pressed steel baths that chip and rust where the enamel has thinned.

The modern estates built during Theale's expansion from the 1980s onwards introduced acrylic baths as standard, and these develop their own issues over time: stress fractures at the base where weight concentrates, impact cracks from dropped objects, and surface scratching from abrasive cleaning products. Rental properties across all eras see accelerated wear from higher occupancy turnover.

Bath Fixer Theale adapt our approach to each material and each type of damage. A Victorian cast iron bath with surface crazing requires a fundamentally different preparation and bonding method than a modern acrylic tub with a hairline crack. Getting this distinction right is the difference between a repair that integrates permanently and one that fails within a few months.

Recent Bath Repairs in Theale

Real examples of restoration work completed by Bath Fixer across Theale and West Berkshire

Victorian Cottage Roll-Top — Church Street

Theale, RG7
The Challenge

A retired couple in one of Theale's older cottages near St Holy Trinity Church had a cast iron roll-top bath dating back to the early 1900s. Over the decades the original enamel had developed deep crazing across the base, discolouration around the overflow, and a cluster of chips near the tap end caused by a falling tile during a previous renovation. A local bathroom fitter had quoted £3,400 for removal and replacement — including replumbing, tiling repairs, and waste disposal — and the couple were reluctant to lose a bath that had served the property for over a century.

Our Solution

Bath Fixer Theale stripped the damaged enamel back to a stable base, treated the corroded areas with a specialist rust inhibitor, and rebuilt the chip damage with a high-adhesion filler compound matched to the original bath profile. The entire surface was degreased, keyed, and prepared for our dual bonding agent application. Two coats of colour-matched enamel — blended to replicate the warm white of the original — were sprayed and infrared cured on site.

The Result

The century-old roll-top was returned to a smooth, bright finish indistinguishable from a new installation. The couple saved over £2,800 compared to the replacement quote and kept a heritage fixture that no modern bath could replicate. The entire job was completed in a single visit with a written guarantee.

Acrylic Bath Crack Repair — Volunteer Road Estate

Theale, RG7
The Challenge

A landlord managing a buy-to-let property on one of Theale's modern estates contacted Bath Fixer after the outgoing tenant reported a crack running along the base of the acrylic bath, with a separate impact chip near the waste fitting. The property had a new tenant due to move in within ten days, and the landlord needed a rapid repair that would avoid the cost and delay of a full bath replacement during a void period.

Our Solution

We attended within three working days. The base crack was stabilised from beneath using a reinforcement compound to prevent further spread, then filled flush with the original surface using a structural-grade acrylic filler. The impact chip was repaired and blended to match the surrounding white. A protective topcoat was applied and cured on site to seal the entire repair area.

The Result

The landlord had the property ready for the incoming tenant five days ahead of schedule. The repair cost came in at less than a quarter of the replacement estimate, and the bath showed no trace of the original damage. A written guarantee covered the work, providing the landlord with documented proof of professional maintenance for their records.

What Our Theale Clients Say

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

Helen R.
Theale — 10/02/2025

"Booked Bath Fixer after discovering a deep chip in our Victorian roll-top bath. The technician arrived on time, matched the colour perfectly, and the repair is completely invisible. He was careful with the period tiling around the bath and left the bathroom spotless. Excellent workmanship from start to finish."

Mark C.
Calcot — 18/11/2024

"We manage several rental properties around Theale and Calcot, and Bath Fixer have become our first call for tenant changeover repairs. They are reliable, competitively priced, and the quality of their work means we never get callbacks. Far better value than fitting a new bath every time a tenancy ends."

Janet P.
Theale — 05/08/2024

"Our acrylic bath had two cracks and several scratches from years of family use. I honestly expected to need a replacement but Bath Fixer restored the entire surface in a single morning. The finish is smooth and bright — it genuinely looks like a brand new bath. I only wish I had called them sooner."

Frequently Asked Questions — Bath Repair Theale

Common questions answered by Bath Fixer Theale

Professional bath resurfacing through Bath Fixer typically costs between forty and seventy per cent less than removing and replacing a bath. A replacement involves plumber fees, disconnection, tiling damage, waste disposal, and the new unit itself. Resurfacing preserves the original bath and restores it to a factory-quality finish in a single visit, saving both money and the significant disruption of a multi-trade bathroom refit.

Yes. Our technicians carry a professional colour-matching system that can replicate virtually any bath shade, including aged whites, off-whites, creams, and coloured suites from the 1970s and 1980s that are no longer manufactured. The repaired or resurfaced area blends seamlessly with the surrounding original finish.

Bath Fixer repair all bath types and materials. Acrylic, pressed steel, cast iron, stone resin, and fibreglass baths each require a specific approach, and our technicians are trained across every surface type. Acrylic bath repairs are among the most common requests we receive across the Theale and West Berkshire area, particularly for impact cracks and scratches.

The resurfaced bath is ready for light use within twenty-four hours of completion. Full chemical cure takes approximately forty-eight hours. We advise avoiding abrasive cleaners for the first week to allow the new surface to reach maximum hardness. Our technician will leave you with specific aftercare instructions following every job.

The majority of DIY bath repair kits we encounter have made the original damage worse rather than better. Consumer-grade fillers and paints lack the adhesion strength and chemical resistance of professional coatings, and they typically produce a visible patch that yellows, cracks, or peels within weeks. Bath Fixer Theale use commercial-grade materials applied under controlled conditions — the result is a permanent, seamless repair rather than a temporary patch.

Bath Fixer cover the whole of Theale and the surrounding West Berkshire area. Our regular service territory includes Theale, Calcot, Pangbourne, Tilehurst, Reading, Newbury, Thatcham, Woolhampton, and Bradfield. We also attend properties across wider Berkshire and into neighbouring counties.
