FAQs for Twelvewoods
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Twelvewoods

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
