Can I fix it myself?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Walton-le-Dale
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Walton-le-Dale. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
