Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
What affects the price in Reed
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What else we do in Reed
What we’re called out for in Reed
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Reed: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Reed?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Reed and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Reed?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlord and trade work in Reed
For anyone letting property in or around Reed, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
