- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Upton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
