DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Colne Engaine, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Colne Engaine
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colne Engaine. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Colne Engaine questions
Do you come to Colne Engaine?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Colne Engaine from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
