DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Horley
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Horley: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What affects the price in Horley
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Horley. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Horley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
