Questions from Newby
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Newby included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
