How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Kingsthorpe: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Kingsthorpe
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
