Selmeston questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Selmeston?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Selmeston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Selmeston?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selmeston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in Selmeston
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
