Should you replace it?

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Buckland St Mary. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
