What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common questions in Brooksby

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brooksby

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Brooksby

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brooksby. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

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 often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
