Tetney: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Sink repair at your home in Tetney
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlord and trade work in Tetney
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tetney use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Tetney
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
If you’re in Tetney and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Tetney
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Signs you need sink repair in Tetney
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
