When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Kelston
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kelston. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Kelston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Kelston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work
