Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Monkton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Monkton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before booking

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
