Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. For a home in Abbey Field, we normally park close by and start immediately, after agreeing the plan with you.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Abbey Field
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin
In the older streets of Abbey Field, around landmarks like St Michael's Church, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

What affects the price in Abbey Field
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Questions from Abbey Field
Can you repair basins in a rental near Colchester Town station?
Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Abbey Field?
Usually: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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.
Do you work in Abbey Field?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Abbey Field. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Abbey Field
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
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.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Abbey Field
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. In a smaller place like Abbey Field, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.
Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
