Our technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fletchertown and across Cumbria.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Fletchertown
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips

Fletchertown questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
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.
Do you come to Fletchertown?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fletchertown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Fletchertown included. Travel is included in the price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Fletchertown. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlord and trade work in Fletchertown
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
