Questions from Halton-Lea-Gate
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What affects the price in Halton-Lea-Gate
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Halton-Lea-Gate get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
