Repairing versus replacing in Sturmer
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Near you in Sturmer
Typical jobs here are in homes near Samuel Ward Academy, Haverhill Railway Walks and Coupals Primary Academy. A little further out are Haverhill and District Local History Centre (1.6 miles north-west) and Castle Camps (4.4 miles west).
- Other local spots include Bumpstead Rural District (1.3 miles south)
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Across the UK, so Sturmer is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Are there extra charges for Sturmer?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Sturmer?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
If you are in Sturmer and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
