Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Coley Park
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Coley Park. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Coley Park
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
