When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Speedwell

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for Speedwell

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you cover Speedwell?

We do. We send a technician to Speedwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
