Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Puddle Town get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

FAQs for Puddle Town

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Landlord and trade work in Puddle Town

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Puddle Town, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
