Bitterne questions
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
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 typically cheaper.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
