Common problems we fix in Cleator
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in Cleator
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Landlord and trade work in Cleator
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cleator as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, 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 usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
