DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When to call us in Rafford
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
Landlord and trade work in Rafford
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Moray and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IV36 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

- How much damage there is

Common questions in Rafford
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
