Heath End questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Heath End is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Heath End
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Heath End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
