Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 will not last.
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 and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cheadle Hulme. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What else we do in Cheadle Hulme
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
