Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Barton Town. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

What else we do in Barton Town
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Barton Town. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise 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.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common questions in Barton Town
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
