What else we do in Tunshill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Tunshill questions
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Tunshill
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
For a price in Tunshill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tunshill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
