What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

When to call us in Yenston

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Yenston

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Yenston. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BA8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters

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

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

FAQs for Yenston

Will you remove the sink?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
