The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Common questions in Chestnut Hill
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work in Chestnut Hill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chestnut Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Landlord and trade work in Chestnut Hill
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chestnut Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common problems we fix in Chestnut Hill
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An antique basin with chips

What affects the price in Chestnut Hill
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
