Questions from Kirby Cane
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Kirby Cane?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kirby Cane from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirby Cane use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirby Cane

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
