What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Whiston Cross questions

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

When to call us in Whiston Cross

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whiston Cross

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whiston Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whiston Cross. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
