The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

What affects the price in Earlesfield

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Earlesfield. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Earlesfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Earlesfield: your questions answered

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How much does sink repair cost in Earlesfield?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
