Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used. Somewhere as small as Hatton Heath, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

For a price in Hatton Heath, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Hatton Heath

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A period basin that needs restoring

If you manage a building such as Saighton CofE Primary School, we repair toilets and washrooms as well as work in homes.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What affects the price in Hatton Heath

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hatton Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Hatton Heath

Will you travel to Hatton Heath?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Can you repair basins in a rental near Chester station?

Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you come to Hatton Heath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hatton Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. In an older home in a village like Hatton Heath, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
