What affects the price in Great Broughton
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.

When to call us in Great Broughton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
