Repairing versus replacing in Bradwell Wick

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Bradwell Wick

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Comparing quotes

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
