Repairing versus replacing in Gaskins
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle bath repair in Gaskins
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
