For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Neighbouring places we cover include Trencreek (1 mile north), Treninnick (1 mile west), Newquay (1 mile north-west), St Columb Minor (1 mile north) and Nansledan (1 mile north-east).

What’s near Lane
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Bishops CofE Learning Academy, Newquay Tretherras and The Kings Head pub. Lane’s nearest station is Newquay station, roughly 1.1 miles north-west. A little further out are Newquay Community Hospital (0.9 miles north-west) and Trenance Cottages Museum (0.9 miles north-west).
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
FAQs for Lane
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Lane
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
Read our pricing.
What affects the price in Lane
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lane. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s 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 reply with a fixed quote.
