High Ackworth: your questions answered
Do you come to High Ackworth?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to High Ackworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in High Ackworth
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
