The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
What we’re called out for in West Malling
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in West Malling contact us include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place
