Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Chestnut Lodge customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chestnut Lodge

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Chestnut Lodge. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chestnut Lodge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Chestnut Lodge

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price
