FAQs for Moor Allerton
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Moor Allerton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Moor Allerton and the rest of Leeds. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Landlord and trade work in Moor Allerton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moor Allerton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Moor Allerton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
