How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Woodcock Hill: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we’re called out for in Woodcock Hill
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
