Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What affects the price in Guilsfield

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Guilsfield. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Guilsfield questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Guilsfield?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Guilsfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
