When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we’re called out for in Askrigg

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
