FAQs for Greenwich

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greenwich

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

What we are called out for in Greenwich

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
