Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Bentham

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bentham. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bentham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Bentham

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you come to Bentham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bentham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
