Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- 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.

Bletsoe questions
Will you travel to Bletsoe?

In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Bedford Borough.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your MK44 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
