Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pool-in-Wharfedale. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pool-in-Wharfedale
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pool-in-Wharfedale use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Pool-in-Wharfedale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
