What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Advice
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Reculver
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What we’re called out for in Reculver
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
