Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Questions from Upperby

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Upperby. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Upperby?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
