Aldborough Hatch questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IG2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
