Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.

FAQs for Boldre
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What affects the price in Boldre
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Boldre. The price comes down to:

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

Surfaces we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
