Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 generally cheaper.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Apsley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Apsley questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hertfordshire.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
