What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Coxford
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
