What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Hungerford

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hungerford included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Hungerford

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
