Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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 get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Replacement in East Hampnett means trades, travel and waste removal, while sink repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in East Hampnett
Do you work for schools and businesses in East Hampnett?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.
Will you travel to East Hampnett?
Yes, we do: small places like East Hampnett are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What affects the price in East Hampnett
Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
