What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Surfaces we repair

Beeston: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work in Beeston?

We do. We send a technician to Beeston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Beeston. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Beeston

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Common reasons people in Beeston contact us are:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
