Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rawtenstall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Rawtenstall

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rawtenstall. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Common questions in Rawtenstall

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

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.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
