What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice
Horwich: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
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
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Other services in Horwich
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Horwich. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
