Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trelewis as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Trelewis
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Trelewis. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
