What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Common questions in Eskdaleside

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
