Guaranteed is the 2007 studio album from Phatfish. It features the vocals of Lou Fellingham, and consists of 10 new tracks written by various members of the band. Phatfish worked with Kevan Frost on the album, who produced their 2001 release Heavenbound.

The album received a positive response, with Cross Rhythms website giving it 10/10 in it's review and the album peaking at number 4 on the monthly sales charts.

To follow-up the release of the album Phatfish did not embark on an official Guaranteed Tour, rather opted to play one off concerts titled Phatfish and Lou Fellingham.

Two songs from the album, "Pouring Out" and "Amazing God" have started to appear on live worship albums and were sung at the Newday, Together On A Mission and Mission:Worship conferences in 2007, which Phatfish attended.
