Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Shottenden
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Shottenden questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Shottenden?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Shottenden. Prices do not change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Shottenden
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
