How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Garthorpe
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
