Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Swanley questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work in Swanley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Swanley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
