Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What else we do in Eccleston
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Eccleston
Do you work in Eccleston?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Eccleston. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Landlord and trade work in Eccleston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eccleston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Eccleston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Eccleston
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
