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 can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Repairing versus replacing in Eastern Green
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often 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.

What else we do in Eastern Green
Eastern Green: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Eastern Green is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you need sink repair in Eastern Green?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CV5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
