All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Top o' th' Lane get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
