Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Moreton
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:

- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring

Moreton questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Moreton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE6 postcode.
Do you cover Moreton?
We do. We send a technician to Moreton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin

- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
