Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Pokesdown
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Pokesdown contact us include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage

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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Pokesdown
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
