Botcheston: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover Botcheston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Botcheston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Botcheston

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Repairing versus replacing in Botcheston
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Botcheston. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often 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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
