How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When to call us in Top o' th' Meadows

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What affects the price in Top o' th' Meadows

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Top o' th' Meadows

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Top o' th' Meadows as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Your questions about sink repair in Top o' th' Meadows

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Repairing versus replacing in Top o' th' Meadows

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • 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 it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
