Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
For a price in Garthmyl, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
