DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Portslade

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work in Portslade?
We do. We send a technician to Portslade for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Portslade. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
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
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Portslade, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
