Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlord and trade work in Old Sarum

If you manage property in Old Sarum, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

What affects the price in Old Sarum

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Old Sarum, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Sarum

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to compare quotes

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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