Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Welford
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
FAQs for Welford
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Welford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Comparing quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
