Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Laneham

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Laneham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Questions from Laneham

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Laneham.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
