Questions from Whitchurch
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitchurch
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
