What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Wiggenhall St Mary the Virgin
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we are called out for in Wiggenhall St Mary the Virgin

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
