FAQs for Pound Bank
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are there extra charges for Pound Bank?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Common problems we fix in Pound Bank
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pound Bank
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Pound Bank, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
