Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in West Langdon

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire basin
