Little Irchester: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you come to Little Irchester?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Little Irchester from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Sink repair in Little Irchester, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

More services for Little Irchester
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Irchester as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
