Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lawns as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What else we do in Lawns
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in Lawns
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
