Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

South Ruislip questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our prices page.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in South Ruislip, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Ruislip. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
