When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Crownhill
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crownhill. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common questions in Crownhill
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crownhill.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace in Crownhill?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
