What we are called out for in Elton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Different materials, different repairs
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 carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Elton
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Elton. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Elton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
