Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Earith
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common questions in Earith
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What we are called out for in Earith
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
