Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What we are called out for in Chells
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Chells
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chells. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Chells
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Chells
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you come to Chells?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chells and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
