Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlord and trade work in Haltwhistle
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
