When to call us in Hayton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
