Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What else we do in Cleator Moor
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Cleator Moor
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Cleator Moor
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Cleator Moor?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
