If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Broughton Gifford and across Wiltshire.

Repairing versus replacing in Broughton Gifford

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Broughton Gifford. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Broughton Gifford questions

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

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

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Landlord and trade work in Broughton Gifford

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broughton Gifford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
