When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Norham Manor
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Norham Manor
Do you work in Norham Manor?
We do. Technicians travel to Norham Manor from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, 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?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
