How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
