When to call us in Chesterton

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

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 couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repairing versus replacing in Chesterton

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
