What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Friendly. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Friendly: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Calderdale and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
