What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
