Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

FAQs for Newington Butts
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is repairing better than replacing?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials we work on in Newington Butts
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
