What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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.

When to call us in Fewston Bents

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

FAQs for Fewston Bents

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
