Little Atherfield questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work in Little Atherfield?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Little Atherfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Sink repair in Little Atherfield, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repair or replace: which is better?

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we’re called out for in Little Atherfield
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
