How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Austwick
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Austwick?

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly

- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
