How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
