Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Braishfield

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
