Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Font-y-gary

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
