Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
