Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How soon can you come?

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlord and trade work in Keills
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keills as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What else we do in Keills
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
