- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Repairing versus replacing in Hungate
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hungate. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Hungate
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
