Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Upperthorpe questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work in Upperthorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Upperthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
