Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Donnington questions

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Donnington customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
