Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ludlow
If you manage property in Ludlow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Ludlow
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
