What affects the price in Clayton

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Clayton. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Clayton: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Clayton?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work in Clayton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Clayton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Do you need sink repair in Clayton?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
