Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Chipping Norton
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
