Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Lenham Forstal
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Lenham Forstal
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

We do. Technicians travel to Lenham Forstal from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
