- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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 will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Questions from Blackness
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the entire of West Lothian?
Everywhere in the UK, Blackness included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work in Blackness?
We do. Technicians travel to Blackness from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
