We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Common problems we fix in Luddington

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Luddington

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Luddington?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Luddington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Luddington and the rest of North Lincolnshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Luddington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
