Landlords, agents and businesses in Capernwray
For anyone letting property in or around Capernwray, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Capernwray
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Common reasons people in Capernwray contact us are:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Capernwray: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
