How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to look after the repair

What affects the price in Trosnant

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
