Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
FAQs for Braystones
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

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 frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Braystones. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: 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. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
