Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Go 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Tickencote
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tickencote
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
