Blackbird Leys questions
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
