Questions from Millington Green
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Millington Green is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Millington Green?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Millington Green
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Millington Green
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
