Eccleston questions

Which areas do you work in?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Eccleston

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Eccleston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Eccleston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Repairing versus replacing in Eccleston

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
