Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upware use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
FAQs for Upware
Do you hold any accreditations?

Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Upware. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
