Should you replace it?

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
