FAQs for Mells
Will the price change on the day?

Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Mells get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we are called out for in Mells
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Landlord and trade work in Mells
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
