Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
When to call us in Caehopkin
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Caehopkin get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
