How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Mastrick: your questions answered
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Mastrick?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Mastrick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What else we do in Mastrick
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Mastrick. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Mastrick, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
