Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Callerton
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
What happens on the day
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 few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Callerton: your questions answered
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When to call us in Callerton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Callerton
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Callerton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
