Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin 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.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace in May Bank?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can tenants book a repair?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in May Bank and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
