Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
