  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

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 we’re called out for in Hartshead

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
