Landlords, agents and businesses in Seaton Sluice
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seaton Sluice use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What else we do in Seaton Sluice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Seaton Sluice. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
