Should you replace it?

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Gisburn
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.
Common questions in Gisburn
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gisburn
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gisburn. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
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 quote.
