  • Chips from dropped toiletries

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including White Cross. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
