Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What affects the price in Lynton

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lynton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Lynton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
