Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Falfield

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
