Common problems we fix in Cantley
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Cantley questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cantley.
Do you cover the entire of Doncaster?
The entire UK, including all of Doncaster. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Doncaster and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Most clients in Cantley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
