Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we are called out for in Kirby Hill
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote

What we can’t put right

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
