Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Flanshaw questions
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover Flanshaw?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Flanshaw. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Flanshaw.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Flanshaw, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode

- What it’s made of, if you know
