How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
