About Ugley
Ugley is about 5 miles north of Bishop's Stortford, in Essex. We visit clients in Ugley and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Our technicians cover 644 places across Essex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 33 miles away.
Our visits in CM22 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes on Patmore Fields and Vicarage Lane. Neighbouring places we cover include Quendon (1 mile north), Ugley Green (1 mile south-east), Elsenham (2 miles south-east), Henham (2 miles east) and Widdington (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Harlow (12 miles south), Saffron Walden (6 miles north), Great Dunmow (8 miles south-east), Great Notley (15 miles east), Bocking (15 miles east) and Newhall (12 miles south).
What’s near Ugley
Around Ugley, we work in homes near Cricketers Public House and Church of St Peter. Ugley’s nearest station is Elsenham station, roughly 1.6 miles south-east. A little further out are Herts and Essex Hospital (5.1 miles south) and House On The Hill Toy Museum (2.3 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Aubrey Buxton Nature Reserve.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we are called out for in Ugley
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Ugley: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
