Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Horndon on the Hill
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you work in Horndon on the Hill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Horndon on the Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
