What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it

What affects the price in Hardley Street

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Hardley Street get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Hardley Street

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An antique basin with chips

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
