The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we’re called out for in Abercrave
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Abercrave
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
