What we’re called out for in Matley
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use 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.
Advice
Matley: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you cover Matley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Matley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Matley and the surrounding area
Matley is about 1 mile south of Stalybridge, in Tameside. We agree a date that works for you, and you will know when to expect us, so there’s no waiting around. Matley is one of 32 towns and villages in Tameside we cover. We work right across the region, from Matley to Manchester (about 8 miles away).
All of SK15 and SK14 is within our area. Jobs here include addresses on Matley Lane, Linden Road and Woodend Lane and the roads around them. Matley sits on or near the A6018, which makes travel easy. We also cover the places around Matley: Mottram in Longdendale (1 mile south-east), Hattersley (1 mile south), Stalybridge (1 mile north), Millbrook (2 miles north) and The Hague (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashton-under-Lyne (3 miles north-west), Denton (4 miles west), Droylsden (5 miles west), Audenshaw (4 miles west), Hurst (3 miles north-west) and Mossley (3 miles north).
What’s near Matley
We visit homes around Copley Academy, Rising Moon pub and Mottram Congregational Church and the streets around them. You’ll also find Stalyhill Infant School (within half a mile north) and Hyde Park (1.9 miles west). For rail, the closest station is Godley station, roughly 1.4 miles south-west. A little further out are Tameside General Hospital (2.4 miles north-west) and Longdendale (1.1 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Eastwood Nature Reserve and Wild Bank.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Matley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Matley
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Matley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Other services in Matley
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
