Common problems we fix in Brunstane

- A crack near the taps

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brunstane. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
