The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Mewith Head
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you work in Mewith Head?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Mewith Head from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
