What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
