Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilmington
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

FAQs for Ilmington
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Ilmington and the rest of Warwickshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you come to Ilmington?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ilmington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
