When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Eskdale Green
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Landlord and trade work in Eskdale Green
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
