What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • 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 to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

Do you need sink repair in Goulceby?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Goulceby questions

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
