Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rowthorne as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Rowthorne

- What kind of damage it is

- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
