Questions from Bowness-on-Windermere
Do you work in Bowness-on-Windermere?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bowness-on-Windermere. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cumbria.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in Bowness-on-Windermere
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
