Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Hale
What we’re called out for in Hale
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
