Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Walkington: your questions answered

Do you come to Walkington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Walkington and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

  • Enamelled basins

When to call us in Walkington

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
