Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.

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 natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Barroway Drove: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Barroway Drove.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
