Questions from Bathpool
Do you work in Bathpool?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bathpool for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
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 we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we’re called out for in Bathpool
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts

What affects the price in Bathpool
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
