- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Felixstowe Ferry. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Felixstowe Ferry
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
