Questions from West Blatchington
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for West Blatchington?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Blatchington as everywhere else we work.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.

- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in West Blatchington
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
