Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

When to call us in Hither Green

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Landlord and trade work in Hither Green

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What affects the price in Hither Green

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hither Green. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Hither Green and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
