Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
FAQs for Monyash
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
When to call us in Monyash
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Landlord and trade work in Monyash
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Monyash, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- 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 pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
