Westcliff-on-Sea: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Westcliff-on-Sea. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What else we do in Westcliff-on-Sea
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Westcliff-on-Sea
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
