Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
