FAQs for Hoghton Bottoms
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What affects the price in Hoghton Bottoms
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hoghton Bottoms. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hoghton Bottoms. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
