How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common questions in East Kirkby

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in East Kirkby
