How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check 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.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Blacon: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Blacon?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Blacon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Blacon
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
