Questions from Red Hills
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Red Hills
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Red Hills. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Red Hills get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Common problems we fix in Red Hills
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
