Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brickendon. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Brickendon and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Brickendon questions
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repair or replace in Brickendon?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
