Common questions in Guyhirn
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
