Advice
Common questions in Abbots Langley
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Abbots Langley
If you manage property in Abbots Langley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbots Langley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
