How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Great Bealings: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you come to Great Bealings?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Great Bealings from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
