Questions from Gawthrop
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Gawthrop and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gawthrop
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Gawthrop, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What affects the price in Gawthrop
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Gawthrop
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
