Repairing versus replacing in Bircher
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

- The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
