Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Repair or replace in Bournmoor?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bournmoor as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bournmoor, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
