Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What else we do in Gunthorpe
For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

- A crazed, tired basin

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
