What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Staplestreet
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What else we do in Staplestreet
What we are called out for in Staplestreet
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
