Landlords, agents and businesses in Gillow Heath
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gillow Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Questions from Gillow Heath
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
