How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing

FAQs for Upper Stowe
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Stowe
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
