Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Buckabank
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
