The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drumlemble
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we are called out for in Drumlemble
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
