Should you replace it?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Frizington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Frizington. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Frizington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Frizington

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Frizington?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
