How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking

Repair or replace in Bancyfelin?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
