How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Barnstone: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Barnstone?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

What affects the price in Barnstone
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
