Common problems we fix in Illidge Green

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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 happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

Illidge Green questions

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Does someone need to be in?

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 do not change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Illidge Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
