Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Low Hauxley

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common problems we fix in Low Hauxley

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

  • A crazed, tired basin

What affects the price in Low Hauxley

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
