Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing

Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
