Repairs by material
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. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What a repair can’t fix

- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Tarrant Monkton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarrant Monkton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from Tarrant Monkton
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tarrant Monkton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Tarrant Monkton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
