Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Gilson
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Gilson
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
