How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
