What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Abingdon-on-Thames?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Abingdon-on-Thames from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
