Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Sink repair in California, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and a crack near the taps, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for California. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for California. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in California

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
