Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Glynde

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
