Default Wireless Doorbells

I work from home in a workshop at the bottom of my garden and have tried a
number of wireless doorbells without too much success. The doorbell is on
the front door as you would expect and my workshop is probably about 60ft
away. The trouble is the house is in the way and I don't get anything like
the range that they state on the packaging. I'm currently using a Byron
doorbell with the bell units which plug into the mains. I also have a
battery powered repeater (is that what it's called?) which is supposed to
extend the range.The repeater is positioned on the wall between the kitchen
and the hall and is about 15ft from the doorbell. Any further away and it
doesn't seem to work- and that's with a new battery in the bell push. With
new batteries in the repeater it will just about get the bell in the
workshop to ring. But after a month or so it won't ring the bell in the
workshop. I'm wondering if I can get a second repeater positioned at the
back door (ie nearer the workshop) which would be activated by the first
repeater in the hall. Can this be done or doesn't it work like that?

Thanks
John
