When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What affects the price in Groton

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Groton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Groton

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
