Common questions in Burnden
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we’re called out for in Burnden
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnden
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
