Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Foulby
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
