When to call us in Gartree
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
FAQs for Gartree
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Gartree included. Travel is included in the price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Gartree?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
