Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Carr Mill
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across St Helens.
Do you work in Carr Mill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Carr Mill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Carr Mill
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Carr Mill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
