Repair or replace: which is better?

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Do you restore period basins?

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Dollis Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
