Common questions in Northwood
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northwood
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Northwood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
