Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Bassenthwaite: your questions answered
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What affects the price in Bassenthwaite
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
