What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Aller Grove

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Aller Grove. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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.
