How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Aldbury
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
