DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Humshaugh: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you come to Humshaugh?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Humshaugh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
