Matchams: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Matchams

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Matchams
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When to call us in Matchams
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
