Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

St Lawrence: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St Lawrence. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in St Lawrence get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
