Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Short Street
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Short Street questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Short Street?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
