Do you cover the whole of Blackburn with Darwen?
The whole UK, including all of Blackburn with Darwen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Blackamoor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Blackburn with Darwen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
