DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Standford questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Standford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Standford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Standford included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When to call us in Standford
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
Landlords, agents and businesses in Standford
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
