How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Do you need sink repair in Rough Common?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Rough Common
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Rough Common
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rough Common. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
