Common questions in Holton
Which areas do you work in?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
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 the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What affects the price in Holton
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Holton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
