Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lower Ballam, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Lower Ballam

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you come to Lower Ballam?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lower Ballam and the rest of Lancashire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Ballam

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
