Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Harpford
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area

Questions from Harpford
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
