Questions from Driver's End
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Driver's End?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Driver's End and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Driver's End
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Driver's End. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Driver's End and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Driver's End

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
