Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Leire questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Leire?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you cover Leire?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Leire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Leire. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Leire. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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.
