Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common questions in Harrold
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Harrold?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Harrold and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

What we’re called out for in Harrold
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
