DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Cummersdale
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
What affects the price in Cummersdale
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place

Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins

- Enamelled basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
