Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower North Dean use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Lower North Dean

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
