Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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, with colour mixed on site.

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Anlaby

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
