Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Questions from Alne End

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Do you cover the whole of Warwickshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Alne End. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What we are called out for in Alne End

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are 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.
