Landlord and trade work in Shotton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Shotton questions
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Shotton included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When to call us in Shotton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners

- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
