Different materials, different repairs
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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Foots Cray, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
