What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Lanescot questions
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lanescot
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in Lanescot, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
