DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Cribbs Causeway

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bristol and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Cribbs Causeway questions

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
