Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we handle sink repair in Auchengray
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Auchengray. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Do you need sink repair in Auchengray?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
FAQs for Auchengray
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover Auchengray?
We do. Technicians travel to Auchengray from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
