Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One price list for the whole UK

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Over Haddon
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Over Haddon: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
