Questions from Churchtown
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When to call us in Churchtown
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Churchtown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
