How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When to call us in Farington Moss

What affects the price in Farington Moss
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Farington Moss. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
