Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Storrs
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Storrs use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Repairing versus replacing in Storrs
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
