Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Short Heath
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Short Heath

Questions from Short Heath
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
