Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Botley
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is

FAQs for Botley
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Botley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Botley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Botley
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
