What affects the price in Whalley Banks
Repairs from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
