Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Lidget Green

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover Lidget Green?

We do. We send a technician to Lidget Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lidget Green

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lidget Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
