Questions from Caldecote
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Caldecote?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Caldecote. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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.

What affects the price in Caldecote
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Caldecote, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caldecote as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Other services in Caldecote
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
