What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Derbyshire Dales

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Derbyshire Dales. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Derbyshire Dales questions

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
