FAQs for Appleton
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we’re called out for in Appleton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in Appleton?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Appleton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
