Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Capel Cross: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Common problems we fix in Capel Cross
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
