Ambleside questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ambleside. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ambleside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repair or replace in Ambleside?

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
