What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently 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 polish the repair to suit.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Baintown
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Baintown?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
