Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in West Tolgus
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Most clients in West Tolgus get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to West Tolgus. The price comes down to:

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

- A wider photo showing the entire basin
