No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Whitecross
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
