Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Combe Throop
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
