How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Bogend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bogend. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Bogend and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bogend questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Bogend?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When to call us in Bogend

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
