We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Goose Green

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Goose Green

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
