Do you work in Waterhouses?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Waterhouses and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Advice
When to call us in Waterhouses
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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