Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Common questions in Embleton
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

Should you replace it?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
