- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Charlestown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Charlestown
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
