The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
