- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Lower Caversham: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
