Chipped basin edge, before and after repair

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Questions from East Grimstead

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you come to East Grimstead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Grimstead and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Common problems we fix in East Grimstead

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
