Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
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 photos.

What affects the price in Kelstedge
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kelstedge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
