Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grange Villa
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Common questions in Grange Villa
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Across the UK, so Grange Villa is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
