Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Barton

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Common questions in Barton

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Barton?

We do. We send a technician to Barton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

For a price in Barton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
