What happens on the day

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Gleadsmoss
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
