Repair or replace in West Clandon?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for West Clandon
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover West Clandon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Clandon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
