Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What else we do in Sawley
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sawley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Do you need sink repair in Sawley?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

FAQs for Sawley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
