Little Chelsea questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Little Chelsea included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Do you need sink repair in Little Chelsea?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work

What affects the price in Little Chelsea
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Little Chelsea. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Little Chelsea get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
