Should you replace it?

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common questions in Clatterford End
Can you repair basins at a school or business in Clatterford End?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
Can you restore the original basins in an older house in Clatterford End?
Often, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Send us photos and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips. In a village or hamlet like Clatterford End, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Clatterford End
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
