The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Sutton on Sea: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lincolnshire.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Sutton on Sea

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sutton on Sea. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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