What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Come-to-Good

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
