Vitreous china

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Questions from Linthouse
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Linthouse?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Linthouse?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Linthouse from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

What we do, step by step

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

- Ensure the room can be ventilated
