Questions from Thorntonhall
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
