Questions from Gleadless Townend
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Gleadless Townend.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Landlord and trade work in Gleadless Townend
For anyone letting property in or around Gleadless Townend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Gleadless Townend
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Gleadless Townend, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Gleadless Townend
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
