Halvergate questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Halvergate.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Halvergate
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
