Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Duxford
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge

Duxford questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
