For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When to call us in Thornton-le-Beans
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
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 morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice

Other services in Thornton-le-Beans
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
