How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Shalfleet
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Shalfleet.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Shalfleet
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Shalfleet
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
