Landlords, agents and businesses in Burslem
If you manage property in Burslem, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Burslem
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Burslem
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Burslem
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
All of Stoke-on-Trent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
