Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair at your home in Mortehoe
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Mortehoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
