Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What else we do in Bishop's Cleeve
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Bishop's Cleeve
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bishop's Cleeve, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
