Ewhurst Green: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Ewhurst Green
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlord and trade work in Ewhurst Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
