Hook-a-Gate questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Hook-a-Gate. Prices do not change with location.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What affects the price in Hook-a-Gate
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
