Repairs by material
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 carefully around original features.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gayton. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Gayton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairing versus replacing in Gayton
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
