How we handle bath repair in Gunn
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gunn. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Gunn
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Gunn?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX32 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Do you need bath repair in Gunn?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. 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.
