Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Millhouses use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Millhouses questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace in Millhouses?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
