FAQs for Acocks Green
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
What happens on the day

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
