DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in Handley?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Handley: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?
The whole UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Handley. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
