  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Norton sub Hamdon

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole basin

If you’re in Norton sub Hamdon and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
