Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repair or replace in Wootton Green?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
