When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repairing versus replacing in Birchall

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What affects the price in Birchall

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Birchall. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
