Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

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. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
