Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What else we do in Fernhill
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Fernhill
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fernhill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Fernhill: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
