Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
