When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Foulden

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Foulden, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
