The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Apsey Green: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you cover Apsey Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Apsey Green and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What affects the price in Apsey Green

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Landlord and trade work in Apsey Green

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we’re called out for in Apsey Green

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Apsey Green?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
