What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Trewen, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled

Looking after it afterwards

- Use gentle cleaners

- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlord and trade work in Trewen
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Trewen?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
