Howgill questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover Howgill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Howgill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Signs you need sink repair in Howgill
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
