What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When to call us in Covenham St Mary
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common questions in Covenham St Mary
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
