- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Common questions in Takeley Street
Can you repair baths in a rental near Stansted Airport station?
Yes. Send photos and the address, and we’ll quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Will you travel to Takeley Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Do you cover Takeley Street?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Takeley Street. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What affects the price in Takeley Street

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it. Somewhere as small as Takeley Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the bath repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Takeley Street
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
