When to call us in Putley Green

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Putley Green

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Putley Green and the rest of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
