How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to care for the finish
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
