How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When to call us in Ewelme
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Ewelme questions
Do you come to Ewelme?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ewelme and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ewelme.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Ewelme?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
