Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Culworth: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Culworth?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Culworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
See our pricing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
