Lakeside questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lakeside, and we will reply with a fixed price.
