Renhold: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What affects the price in Renhold
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Renhold. The price reflects:

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Renhold, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
