The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin 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 get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
