Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
