How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Valley Truckle
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

- A chipped vanity basin

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Valley Truckle

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Common questions in Valley Truckle
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Valley Truckle?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Valley Truckle. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
