Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What we’re called out for in Upper Brailes

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Upper Brailes, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. 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.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Brailes

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Upper Brailes questions

Do you work in Upper Brailes?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Upper Brailes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Upper Brailes and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
