Common questions in Stoke-on-Tern

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Stoke-on-Tern and the rest of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
