What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for 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 quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
