Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
