Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Common questions in Ewood

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ewood included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you work in Ewood?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ewood. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What affects the price in Ewood

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ewood. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Ewood

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Ewood

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
