Huntingdonshire questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Huntingdonshire.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you work in Huntingdonshire?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Huntingdonshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Huntingdonshire. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Huntingdonshire get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Huntingdonshire
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
