Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

The process
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’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
