DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Winterbourne Down
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When to call us in Winterbourne Down
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Winterbourne Down
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Winterbourne Down?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Winterbourne Down from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
