What else we do in Rudheath Woods
Rudheath Woods: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Rudheath Woods?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Rudheath Woods from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cheshire East. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Rudheath Woods
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
