Bath repair at your home in Cradlewell
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 typically use the bath the day after. We are frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Cradlewell
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about bath repair in Cradlewell
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are there extra charges for Cradlewell?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Cradlewell?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cradlewell and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Signs you need bath repair in Cradlewell
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

What else we do in Cradlewell
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Cradlewell clients choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
