- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes

Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 usually cheaper.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
