Delapré Abbey questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Delapré Abbey?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Delapré Abbey and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Sink repair in Delapré Abbey, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Delapré Abbey
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Common problems we fix in Delapré Abbey
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving

- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Delapré Abbey
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Delapré Abbey. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
