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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Aldringham
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Aldringham: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Aldringham is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover Aldringham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Aldringham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
