Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in High Hesket
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
