Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Gonalston
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gonalston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gonalston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
