Common questions in Calne
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Calne and the rest of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often 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 polish the repair to suit.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Calne
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Calne, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
