Roddymoor: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repair or replace in Roddymoor?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roddymoor
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Common problems we fix in Roddymoor
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
