Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the 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.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
