Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fradley South. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fradley South

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
