FAQs for Lower Tean

What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
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 a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Tean
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lower Tean
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
Read our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When to call us in Lower Tean
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
