What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

Common problems we fix in Haighton Top

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
