We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Glenridding: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Are there extra charges for Glenridding?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How much does sink repair cost in Glenridding?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CA11 postcode.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Glenridding?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Glenridding for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
