Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Waltham Chase

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairing versus replacing in Waltham Chase

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
