Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
