The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Bilton in Ainsty

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bilton in Ainsty
For anyone letting property in or around Bilton in Ainsty, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
