Questions from Stretton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Rutland?
We cover the whole UK, including Stretton and the rest of Rutland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Other services in Stretton
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
