What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
FAQs for Hoburne Park
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
