Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What we can’t put right

- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets

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.
Common questions in Stepney
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stepney. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HU5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
