What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Common problems we fix in Great Salkeld
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Common reasons people in Great Salkeld contact us include:
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out

Great Salkeld questions
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Great Salkeld, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What affects the price in Great Salkeld
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Salkeld. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
