The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Flitwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
