DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Holton Heath. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Holton Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What we are called out for in Holton Heath

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common questions in Holton Heath

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
