Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check 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 the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

When to call us in Southburgh

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
