Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Duddon Common questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

We cover the whole UK, including Duddon Common and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are there extra charges for Duddon Common?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Duddon Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Duddon Common, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not 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, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace in Duddon Common?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
