Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Petrockstowe: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When to call us in Petrockstowe

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What affects the price in Petrockstowe

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
