Wall Nook: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wall Nook as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Wall Nook
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wall Nook. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
If you’re in Wall Nook and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
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.
