Common questions in Tanis
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
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.
Do you come to Tanis?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tanis from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Tanis
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Tanis customers choose us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
