How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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