Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in West Pentire

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

  • We leave the room as we found it

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
