DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Kenn questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

What affects the price in Kenn
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kenn. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
If you manage property in Kenn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
