Bath repair in Gunton without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gunton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Gunton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Gunton
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work in Gunton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gunton and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Different materials, different repairs
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 repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What affects the price in Gunton
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gunton. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
