Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Knotford. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LS21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
