When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Tiltups End

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tiltups End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Tiltups End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

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

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
