Problem with your basin in Piccadilly? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Sink repair in Piccadilly without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze.
Somewhere like Piccadilly, you may still have period sanitaryware, and those are worth keeping. We work around original marks where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Basins in Piccadilly homes
Landlords with property near Wilnecote station (about 2.3 miles north) use us between tenancies, so basins are repaired rather than replaced. If you manage a building such as Wood End Primary School, we repair toilets and washrooms as well as work in homes.
Piccadilly is about 3 miles south of Tamworth, in Staffordshire. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. We work in all 512 towns and villages in Staffordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our jobs stretch from Piccadilly to Birmingham (12 miles away).
Every address in B78 is covered for sink repair. Sink repair is available to homes on Piccadilly, Piccadilly Crescent and Colonel Dibley Close and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out sink repair in Wood End (1 mile east), Whateley (1 mile north), Kingsbury (1 mile south-west), Hurley Common (1 mile south-east) and Cliff (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Tamworth (3 miles north), Lichfield (10 miles north-west), Burntwood (13 miles north-west), Stowe (10 miles north-west), Norton Canes (14 miles north-west) and Darwin Park (10 miles north-west).
Near you in Piccadilly
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Kingsbury School and Kingsbury Water Park, among other places. The nearest railway station is Wilnecote station, about 2.3 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Robert Peel Society & Police Museum (2.2 miles west) and Kingsbury Hall (1.4 miles south-west). For a walk, there is Middleton Lakes RSPB reserve.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. In an older home in a village like Piccadilly, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Piccadilly. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What else we do in Piccadilly
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your B78 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Piccadilly
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Michael & All Angels Church, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured. For a rural address like Piccadilly, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the sink repair, so there is no second trip.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space clear if you can

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Piccadilly questions
I let a flat near Wilnecote station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes. We repair basins between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and we can quote for several properties together.
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Piccadilly?
Often, yes: original pieces are normally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
