Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Butt Lane. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Repairing versus replacing in Butt Lane

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Questions from Butt Lane

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
