What else we do in Holmes
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Holmes
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
