DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

What affects the price in Darcy Lever
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Darcy Lever. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Repairing versus replacing in Darcy Lever
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
