Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Questions from Ellistown
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Ellistown?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
