What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Inkersall
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
