Common questions in Togston
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Togston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything

When to call us in Togston
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Togston
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
