The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
For a price in Swannington, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
Repair or replace in Swannington?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
