Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for New Zealand
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so New Zealand is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you come to New Zealand?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to New Zealand. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and trade work in New Zealand
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What affects the price in New Zealand
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
