FAQs for Barnby in the Willows
I let a flat near Newark Northgate station. Can you help between tenants?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
My house in Barnby in the Willows is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Normally: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from pictures.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured. In a village or hamlet like Barnby in the Willows, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Should you replace it?

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
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
