How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Gamston: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Gamston and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you come to Gamston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gamston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our prices page.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.

What affects the price in Gamston
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Gamston
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
