Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What sink repair costs

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
