Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we’re called out for in Gadebridge
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What affects the price in Gadebridge
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
