What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Shawford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Shawford questions
Are there extra charges for Shawford?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shawford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
