How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Gaunt's Common questions
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What else we do in Gaunt's Common
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re 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 we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gaunt's Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
