Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Retford questions
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Retford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Retford. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Retford
If you manage property in Retford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Retford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Retford
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
