Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
