Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What else we do in Craigton
Craigton: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Craigton. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
