Common questions in Gawthorpe
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Gawthorpe
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Common reasons people in Gawthorpe contact us are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Gawthorpe
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
