The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Dukes Green

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dukes Green. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Dukes Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Dukes Green?

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
