When to call us in Duton Hill
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
What affects the price in Duton Hill
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
