Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Baybridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Baybridge
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Baybridge included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
