Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Brentry: your questions answered

Do you work in Brentry?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Brentry. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Brentry.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Brentry

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
