How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
