Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Keswick, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Keswick
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Common problems we fix in Keswick
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
