Other services in Betsham
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Betsham
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What affects the price in Betsham
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
