How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckenham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Buckenham
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Buckenham
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Buckenham?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
