Can I fix it myself?
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 often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Sink repair at your home in Bittaford
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Bittaford
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What we’re called out for in Bittaford
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in Bittaford
For anyone letting property in or around Bittaford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bittaford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

What affects the price in Bittaford
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
