DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Sullom
Do you come to Sullom?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sullom and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Sullom and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Do you need sink repair in Sullom?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
