Mapperley: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Mapperley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Mapperley and the rest of Nottingham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace in Mapperley?

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
