How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Keswick

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Keswick. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Questions from Keswick

Do you cover Keswick?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Keswick. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Keswick included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
