When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Tyseley

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
