Questions from Hawkesley
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are there extra charges for Hawkesley?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hawkesley.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawkesley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawkesley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
