When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Smallwood Hey

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Smallwood Hey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
