What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

FAQs for Walgrave

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Walgrave included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Walgrave. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walgrave

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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