How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Wivenhoe Cross
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wivenhoe Cross. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wivenhoe Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
