Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hales Place use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Hales Place
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
