The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

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.

What affects the price in Amotherby

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Amotherby

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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