Landlord and trade work in Allenton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Allenton questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Allenton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Allenton

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
