What we do, step by step

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlord and trade work in Claxton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Claxton
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Claxton. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Claxton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Claxton: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Claxton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are there extra charges for Claxton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Claxton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
