Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in East Wittering

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover East Wittering?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to East Wittering. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace in East Wittering?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in East Wittering

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
