Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Camore: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Camore

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Camore customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we are called out for in Camore

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
