What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What affects the price in Four Lane Ends
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Four Lane Ends. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Four Lane Ends: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Four Lane Ends?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Four Lane Ends and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Four Lane Ends as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Four Lane Ends, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
