Bath repair at your home in Gunnista
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. You can usually use the bath the following day. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Gunnista
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Gunnista?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gunnista and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repair or replace in Gunnista?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gunnista. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Gunnista, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When to call us in Gunnista
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
