DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
