  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Crewkerne

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Crewkerne. The price depends on:
