Holme questions
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Holme
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Holme, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace in Holme?
Replacing a 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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we are called out for in Holme
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
