Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Repairing versus replacing in Arlingham
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No extra charge for your area

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Arlingham. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Arlingham, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
