What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Lawshall

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Lawshall included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Lawshall

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lawshall

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking
