Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Batchcott. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Batchcott, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.

  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
