Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What affects the price in Guilton

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to compare quotes

Guilton: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Guilton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
