Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Great Dunmow
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Dunmow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
