Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Arncliffe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Arncliffe
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BD23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Arncliffe: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BD23 postcode.
What information do you need?

Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
