Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlord and trade work in Brightside

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brightside as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we’re called out for in Brightside

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Brightside

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

What affects the price in Brightside

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
