The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Gilbert Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common questions in Gilbert Street
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
