Common questions in Harlow Hill
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Harlow Hill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harlow Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Harlow Hill
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
