How we handle bath repair in Silvergate
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Silvergate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Repairing versus replacing in Silvergate
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Silvergate
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

- 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Silvergate?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Common questions in Silvergate
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Silvergate included. Travel is included in the price.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
